Architecture shaped by sound

Cultural spaces are shaped by what happens within them, whether performance, recording, exhibition or gathering. In some, the room itself becomes an instrument, with its geometry, volume and materiality shaping how sound is created and experienced. In others, acoustics play a quieter but equally considered role. These spaces often have particular acoustic needs, from how sound behaves within them to how they are protected from the world outside. Getting it right means considering those needs as part of the design from the outset, not adding them later.
