All the entries to this competition proposed gutting the King Eddy and replacing with what appears to be very sterile, high-end dinner-club-esque interiors. I have a problem with this, as the original blues club was fantastically messy, very intimate, and perfect breeding ground for great blues music. I hope that SPF (or whoever the winner will be) will nod to this in their final design. …actually wait….I have one comment.

As part of the design team (and one who’s worked on a number of MAJOR performance venues) I can say this is definitely something we took under consideration – and will continue to should the project move forward in our favor. Suffice it to say that we’ve accounted for the variability of natural light, variable acoustics and for theater grids in all performance spaces [we do have one of the world’s premier consultants on the team!]. All this is visible in information that was submitted in our package but not posted here. We did not want to burden the ArchDaily site with more technical drawings showing how we worked out the loading dock and mechanical systems but it is all there- rest assured. Also, as with the time limit imposed on competitions- as you very well know- a lot of things are left for the real schematic design phase- which would include working these things out with the user. Thanks though for your obvious astuteness! Good observation, MSPage!

I love the bridge idea. I like it more than the Diller Scofidio + Renfro/Kasian concept.

Having worked in quite a few performance venues the extensive use of windows and natural light seems ironic. Where will the stage lights be hung? Will all the windows be covered in curtains to optimize usability? The video is well produced. Great insight into the process. The building looks great, but its ability to “perform” is questionable.
