A video was made to capture the essence of the workshop: sound is an integral element in the design of interiors.
People perceive space with many senses. Charlie Morrow gave a workshop within MFA Interior Design Studio 1 to investigate sound and audio experience as a primary consideration in the design of interiors. Students in teams of 4 constructed sound pieces to be experienced in an 8’ long plywood corridor.
During the process, some questions addressed and discussed were:
What is the physiology of the ear and how do we hear?
How much do we sense in vibration versus audible notes?
What is the relationship of materials to sound?
What is the role of pause or silence between sounds?
How does sound affect the experience of space?
