The Taipei Cicada pop music center proposal of taking a nearly extinct sound producing insect in Taipei and roughly translating it into an architectural form to exhibit the Pop music culture of Taiwan is quite intriguing. 

Cicada Pop Music Center shows us a bold and interesting concept to experience pop music from multiple levels of bright colorful pop culture.  It’s an iconic hub to see and be seen by all.  The outdoor concert area allows for views of visitors enjoying their time at the “floating” nightclubs while tourists walking on the sky bridges experience astounding views of the city and the space itself.

The Taipei Cicada Pop Music Center proposal by Studios Architecture would have been a building worth visiting.

they based their design around the ‘cicada’ insect now largely extinct in taiwan. ‘cicada pop’ represents the re-birth of the natural world in a growing taipei, and a traditional symbol of transcendence in china. (designboom)
