sound concepts- STUDY CENTER Listen! said Peter Zumthor, the Swiss - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

GEMMA DIAZ + PAVLINA KRIKI // FAVELAS. ATLAS CONCEPTS sound concepts- STUDY CENTER “Listen!” said Peter Zumthor, the Swiss architect, in a lecture delivered at Germany’s Wendlinghausen Castle in 2003. “Interiors are like large instruments, collecting sound, amplifying it, transmitting it elsewhere.” Since sound, unlike instantaneous sight, trav- els over time, the ear also remembers. PROGRAM INVISIBLE architecture: Instruments People in the favelas often are living with too many people in usually cramped spaces. No time to be alone, to time to concentrate if one wants or needs. We provide the space for each individual or selected group to come together and be able to concentate to the task at hand. The rooms are isolated, devoid of any outside sound and create all the necessary circum- stances to study, play an instrument, read, argue with a collaborator Simultaneously we create a theme park of sounds that affect emotions, through architec- tural elements, such as space and materiality > SKATE PARK > VIDEO GAMES ROOMS > ISOLATED CHAMBERS (studying/ reading) > GROUP STUDY ROOMS > CONFERENCE HALLS > CAFETERIA > PERFORMANCE STAIRS > LIBRARY > RECEPTION/ LOBBY

Speed Depends on the temprature of the air // solids > liquids > gases Ranges: a. 0-20 Hz Infrasonic ( low, that the human ear cannot detect, but may feel the rumbling of the waves through your body/ b. 20- 20000 Hz Sonic (normal for human ears)/ c. 20000 Ultrasonic 2. Frequency (Beyond normal hearing, some animals hear part ways. Used in medi- cine) measure the loudness of sounds in the decibel system // The louder 3. Loudness a sound, the bigger the amplitude //
