e desire for architecture
to achieve harmony
with its surroundings
is not news—it's the
point. But Mixon Hall,
the 17,500-square-
foot addition to the
Cleveland Institute of
Music, a vanguard of
musical education in
Ohio, brings an exciting
new dimension to this
idea as an example of
thoughtfully planned
space and purity of
form. Backdropped by a
vibrant engagement with
nature, and the venue
sets the tempo for what
the modern recital hall
should be.
