Can sound lend itself to architectural thinking and production? What are the possibilities for sound and architecture to feed each other’s cultures of imagination and production? In this lecture, leading practitioners in experimental sound practice present an evening of performance on sound and its relationship to architecture, examining how sound and space may form a radical coupling beyond the science of acoustics. Ultimately, the lecture proposes sound as an emergent medium for engaging the contemporary condition by staking out its relevance towards notion of hybridity and sociality.
