sound of the piano when you depress its keys. They are manufactured with thick, stiff felt
stretched around a wooden core or molding at great tension. Because of its curvy shape, it
creates an illusion of dynamic motion when played. As time goes by, because of the modern
technology, people nowadays are more interested and curious to structures that creates illusion
and can be able to adapt to change. Making this as a concept, the way the structure exude fluidity
and dynamism, it enables the people to relate to the structure and because of its arrangements, it
creates an impression of constant change.
