Architectures of Sound

Exploring the intricate connections between sound, space, listening, and architecture, this book expands the design foundations for architects accustomed to visual creation. It incorporates contemporary and historical buildings, alongside fictional, philosophical, and theoretical perspectives, redefining sound as both a source and a tool in architectural design. By introducing a metatheory of "critical listening," the author enables designers to acoustically evaluate and shape their projects during the design phase, enriching the architectural experience.
