Sound

Outside the speed produces noise.Inside, going slowly, you can produce sound.

Dissonance:

Interaction between two frequencies producing a disturbing vibration as well as a feeling of unhomogeneity and discordance feeling.

in the Project...2 frequencies 1. noise (from outside)

2. sounds (inside)

Both (1 and 2) made by humans

Core of project: wind and NATURAL silenceHEARING PURIFICATION

Circular path: FROM NOISE TO “SILENCE”, THROUGH THE SOUND.

from out of the place

walking in the garden

“closed” core of the site

BETWEEN

RAILWAY AND HIGHWAY

CONCEPT

SOUND - ANALYSIS

SPEED - ANALYSIS

From the street: disturbing sound (noise) Water front: pleasant soundFrom railway: no intense noise (sound)

Inside the place there aren’t movements so, the only sounds are natural (due to wind among leaves and chirping of birds). But from outside you can hear disturbance, from the highway, and other sound from railway. A sound absorbent filter is necessary in the north border.

production of sound

sound and material: dull noise of footsteps on the wooden ramp, low “voice” of the wind mill. experience: surprise due to the change of the flooring; the wind mill calls your attention to the possibility of choosing another path.

sound and material: pattering on the grass, wind blowing through the treetops no noise from outside (walls of soundproof material).experience: natural “silence”, in a peaceful casket, your mind is devoid of troubles.

sound: low sound from organ field. experience: view toward “infinite” elements , infinity sense.

sound and materials:intermittent dripping made by the water that falls down in the metal basin. The lines of basin have diversal size, sothey create a particular and unhomogeneus rhythm.Dull pattering on the metal grid.Slow flowing of the water in the canal. experience: calm and relax.

sound and material: (interrupted) rhytmic traffic sound, different walls of the corridor: -opaque material (brick) -soundproof and trasparent material. experience: confusion created by disturbing sound and view of cars.

sound:Low sound from the reeds. experience:Growing curiosity, the instrument catchesyour attention and it induces you to discovernew layer.
