This project explores music festivals as collective cultural events, using Recife, NE Brazil, as a testing ground due to its vibrant festival scene. Despite the prevalence of music downloading, live music experiences remain popular, contributing to personal growth, well-being, social interaction, and identity.

​

Drawing on recent studies and diverse festival styles, this study proposes alternative music stage designs to reflect the diversity of festivals. Anchored in generative design, the project reviews geometric typologies and analyzes their suitability for different festival contexts, considering factors like cost and assembly efficiency.

​

A scaffold structure and prefab parts form the backbone, combined with ETFE panels. Various digital procedures are used to develop small, medium, and large stages, transforming them into engaging acoustic shells that enhance the festival experience.
