The Sonic Motorcycle Centre brings bikers together in a shared experience: for the enjoyment and pleasure of motorbike culture, maintenance and sound. Bikers can play the building like an instrument, using the acoustic designs to engage in a new mode of motorcycle performance, bringing a collective and experimental approach to collaboration with architecture. The dynamic building becomes a performative concert hall, exalting the thrills of motorcycling.

When we can no longer enjoy the combustion engine and have petrol motorcycles on the street, this building will uphold the practice of this culture by allowing motorcyclists to enjoy the combustion engine in a focused and sustainable way.

The building’s sonic qualities will be activated by the motorcycles and thus experienced as the bikers use the different acoustic spaces. The revving of the motorcycle will be performed and propagated throughout the building. The building design contains a track, sections of which will enable the users to perform and/or observe the manipulated sounds of a motorbike. This celebratory relationship between building and bike will create opportunities for a new art form, creativity and play.
