“Of course, everyone interprets it differently, but for us, it’s a very personal thing. With this project, the question for us was how to interpret one art form into another language, with other tools. Can sound be translated into space? Can sheet music be translated into an architectural drawing? Can silence be interpreted as a void? Architecture is usually defined as the creation of space, while time is important in music. We were interested in reversing this definition: how could the dimension of time be expressed in architecture, and space in music? Of course, the connection between architecture and music can be observed very directly, for example in the design of concert halls, where the design affects the sound quality, as well as in cathedrals etc. Instead of this rather technical interpretation, we were interested in a more personal approach: how a piece of music can reflect space. While we were working on the competition project, we listened to Tabula rasa a lot, and it eventually became the keyword of our work.”
