Keywords:
architecture, sound space, performance, critical spatial practiceAbstract
From the interaction between sound and space, the dimension of soundspace emerges. This research project and its series of artworks focuses on the aesthetic, and social aspects of soundspace as a means to create alternative and subjective narratives, to resignify and deconstruct the memory of space and the architecture that sustains it. The paper revise the concepts of space and sound in architecture, social sciences and sonic arts of the 20th century, trying to create a link between these diverse practices and theories. Understanding that a major shift in all this disciplines occurred when sound and space coalesce. From this revision the research methodological tools are proposed: compositions, installations and performances of soundspace, which are used to explore and create new narratives through listening. Tools that are applied to a series of case studies abandoned infrastructures on the margins of memory and the urban, uninhabitable spaces with exacerbated and unique acoustics, industrial and war monuments that in their acoustics preserve the origin of the contemporary city.
