Whether in the form of the spoken word, sounds and noise, music or silence: the interrelationships among architecture, space and sound are essential elements of life. The variables entail such heterogeneous fields as psychoacoustics, environmental acoustics, spatial acoustics and structural engineering, and involve questions of architectural design as well as sociopolitical issues. After all, both architecture and sound have social functions, and both are embedded in the balance of power prevailing in society. “Architecture and Sound” scrutinizes the history of the intellectual confrontation with this topic extending all the way back to Greek Antiquity, focusing especially on experimental settings that examine this thematic complex through the interplay of research and artistic production.
