Abstract

A room's acoustic character seems at once the most technical and the most mystical of concerns. Since the early Enlightenment, European architects have systematically endeavored to represent and control the propagation of sound in large interior spaces. Their work has been informed by the science of sound but has also been entangled with debates on style, visualization techniques, performance practices, and the expansion of the listening public. Echo's Chambers explores how architectural experimentation from the seventeenth through the mid-twentieth centuries laid the groundwork for concepts of acoustic space that are widely embraced in contemporary culture. It focuses on the role of echo and reverberation in the architecture of Pierre Patte, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, Carl Ferdinand Langhans, and Le Corbusier, as well as the influential acoustic ideas of Athanasius Kircher, Richard Wagner, and Marshall McLuhan. Drawing on interdisciplinary theories of media and auditory culture, Joseph L. Clarke reveals how architecture has impacted the ways we continue to listen to, talk about, and creatively manipulate sound in the physical environment.

Abstract

"Comment éviter qu'un immeuble de douze étages ressemble à un temple grec déformé ?", se demandait-on à Chicago en 1880. Cet ouvrage montre la récente transformation d'une question artistique, la question de l'échelle qui traverse l'architecture de l'intime au sublime, en une interrogation scientifique qui porte aussi bien sur la réduction (la maquette) que sur la représentation (le plan, la carte), la perception (la grandeur sensible) et la conception de l'espace (l'espace de référence). Une telle interrogation mène bien au-delà du domaine propre à l'architecture. On trouvera donc réunis ici, autour de la question de l'échelle, des articles d'auteurs qui la font travailler dans des champs aussi divers que ceux de l'histoire, de la psychologie, de la sociologie, de l'architecturologie, de la systémique et des sciences de la conception. Toutes ces disciplines concourent à faire de l'échelle une question épistémologique, issue de l'architecture et y renvoyant.

Abstract

As the subject of earnest discussion, the meaning of space reaches far beyond the horizon of a single discipline. Lukas Feiriss has assembled a collection of international contributions for Space Matters, a publication of the space & design strategies study program of the University of Art and Design, Linz, Austria to create an inspiring expansion of the contemporary discourse on space. The publication addresses cultural researchers and readers in creative professions - architects, artists, curators, scientists and students in all the related fields as well as those members of a broader audience that are interested in the incorporation of space and the practices with which it is designed in cultural, social and humanities-oriented contexts. Raum eröffnet als Gegenstand ernsthafter Diskussion einen Bedeutungshorizont, der weit über die Grenzen einer einzelnen Disziplin hinausreicht. Vor diesem Hintergrund versammelt das von Lukas Feireiss für den Studiengang raum&designstrategien der Kunstuniversität Linz herausgegebene Buch Space Matters internationale Beiträge, welche eine inspirierende Erweiterung der zeitgenössischen Auseinandersetzung mit Raum markieren. Die Publikation richtet sich an Kulturwissenschaftler und Kulturschaffende - Architekten, Künstler, Kuratoren, Wissenschaftler und Studierende aller verwandten Fächer sowie an eine breite Öffentlichkeit, die sich für die Einbeziehung zeitgenössischer raumschaffender Praktiken in kultur-, sozial- und geisteswissenschaftliche Kontexte interessieren.
