a primer in sound for architects.
The information of the air
The very thing that is invisible in architecture: the air enclosed by it, is full of life, full of information.
By listening one can discern the size, shape, materials, activity of a room. This wealth of information is a quivering of the air. Very small movements, very small amounts of energy - our hearing is incredibly sensitive - in a condition of dynamic balance, that is something always moving but overall fairly still. Something vibrating around equilibrium. |
