The Equalizer / Delution Architect
The Equalizer is a metaphorical architectural concept of a rhythm in activity in our lives. Rhythm becomes a key word for Architect in designing building that have 3 main functions that are Production House, Music Studio, and Ballet Studio. The Architect tried to find the red thread from those three activities and finally obtained the ‘Rhytm’ word which is implemented to the Equalizer Shape as a representation of that rhytm.

This shape makes it look like this building has a Rhythm like the activities it carries.
