International Design Competition: Aural Architecture
INTRODUCTION
SOUND TO SPACE –
Using the sense of sound to design architectural space, depicting emotions and humanising the habitable volume encompassed by walls. Use your auditory sense to develop abstract architectural space which exhibits an emotion of itself.
The process of designing is as follows:
• Listen to the music pieces.
• Select any one of the four music pieces.
• Analyze the music and understand the emotion.
• Word those emotions to further translate it into architectural space.
• It could be any type of structure or installation
• Be able to encompass a volume that depicts your understanding of the emotion in the music.
“I’ve seen miracles happen with sound.”
– Tom Kenyon
