This book explores the role of silence in how we design, present
and experi-ence architecture. Grounded in phenomenological theory,
the book builds on historical, theoretical and practical approaches
to examine silence as a methodological tool of architectural
research and unravel the experiential qualities of the design
process. Distinct from an entirely soundless experience, silence is
proposed as a material condition organically incorporated into the
built and natural landscape. Kakalis argues that, either human or
atmospheric, silence is a condition of waiting for a sound to be
born or a new spatio-temporal event to emerge. In silence,
therefore, we are attentive and attuned to the atmos-phere of a
place. The book unpacks a series of stories of silence in religious
topographies, urban landscapes, film and theatre productions and
architec-tural education with contributed chapters and interviews
with Jeff Malpas and Alberto Perez-Gomez. Aimed at postgraduate
students, scholars and researchers in architectural theory, it
shows how performative and atmospheric qualities of silence can
build a new understanding of architectural experience.
