这是由Richter Architects设计的戴尔玛学院音乐系加建项目。该建筑是一个大型项目的首期建设部分，提供急需的扩建空间，并对老化的设施进行改造，从而服务国家认证的戴尔玛学院音乐系课程。该项目包括两个录音棚、一个排练厅以及音乐实验室和课室等。原建筑建于20世纪50年代和60年代，面向校园周边街道，远离校园步行核心区与生活核心区。音乐是该校园文化生活的重要元素，因此在设计中成为了关键的设计要点，和技术手段共同发挥作用，重新将音乐系定位为校园的核心，创建了更好的校园步行交通以及活跃的户外空间。

From the architect. This project is an initial phase of a larger program to provide much needed expansion and renovation to the aging facilities that serve the nationally-recognized Del Mar College Music program.  The project includes two recording studios, a rehearsal hall, and music laboratories and classrooms.  The original building, built in the 1950’s and 1960’s was dominantly oriented to a campus perimeter street, away from the pedestrian core and life of the campus.  As music provides an important element to the campus cultural life, it was considered a key project opportunity to provide significant campus benefit beyond technical scope of the project – to utilize this initial phase to re-direct the Music Department to the heart of the campus, to create better pedestrian linkages to the campus, and to begin delineating new, lively campus outdoor spaces.

The design seamlessly extends the established campus materials of buff brick and pink cast-stone while energizing the urban campus core with a dramatically curved glass curtain-wall with integral solar shading.  This concave new dominant facade expresses musical qualities of meter and movement and offers a new architectural identity for the Music Department facing the historic heart of the campus.  Additionally, it boldly scribes and enhances an important but previously obscured north/south campus path, and creates an acoustic and visual backdrop for a planned-impromptu amphitheater carved into a new campus courtyard to the east.Product Description. The curved glass curtain-wall with integral solar shading expresses musical qualities of rhythm and expression.  It forms the concave facade that creates an acoustic and visual backdrop for planned  and impromptu performances.
