How can we design public space acoustically and architecturally at the
same time? Can public space be used as a sound instrument?

With these questions, the research project Composed City starts this week.


As a kickoff, four lecturers have been invited to talk about sound art in
public.

In the following month, students from Sound Studies/UdK and TU Berlin are
going to design and realize an installation on this theme.


The lectures are open to verybody who is interested.



Moderator: Derek Holzer

Organisation: Lola landscape architects + Staalplaat Soundsystem
in collaboration with Sound Studies, UdK Berlin, TU Berlin

   Program:




14:00 – 14:30

Introduction




14:30 – 15:45

Architecture and sound in historical perspective

John Heymans


On Sound and Space, on the history of architectural acoustics and beyond.




16:00 – 17:15

The anthropocentric misconception

Achim Wollscheid


Explanation of his latest works: interactive sound-work, mostly in public
space. To do sound-work in public space means to accept and include the
environment, and its sound factors. If people are invited to interact,
sociological and psychological considerations come into play: who
interacts, within which framework or setting, with what expectations,
limitations, etc.




17:30 – 18:45

Resonant vessels, receptive bodies

Mark Bain


Sound and Architecture and the affect to occupants who inhabit them. A
brief overview of some of the work of Mark Bain as it relates to the sonic
activation of architecture and public space with the connection to the
audience as an enhanced listening experience.




19:00 – 20:15

Landscape architecture in the light of sound

Per Hedfors


His research raised the orchestration of the soundscape as a new area of
concern in the field of landscape architecture. Professionals can learn to
recognise the auditory phenomena which are characteristic of a certain
type of land use. Acoustic sources are obvious planning elements which can
be used as a starting point in the development process.
