CATHARINA DYRSSEN - EXPERIMENTING WITH SOUND, INVESTIGATING ARCHITECTURAL SPACE
EDUCATION
Everyday architectural and urban spaces are filled with sounds, but sonic qualities are seldom incorporated into architecture. Awareness of sounds can give new understanding of architecture and lead to other modes of teaching and making. The lecture presents explorative and pedagogical works by Urban Sound Institute, an artistic research group with composers, acousticians and architects.
Professor at the Department of Architecture, Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg. In teaching and research C. Dyrssen is especially interested in questions relating architecture to music, sound, rhythm, and the urban sonic environment, as well as design based research methods.
A major collection of new writings on research in the creative and performing arts by leading authorities from around the world. It provides theoretical and practical approaches to identifying, structuring and resolving some of the key issues in the debate about the nature of research in the arts which have surfaced during the establishment of this subject over the last decade.
