For the past 20 years, Victoria Meyers, a Founding Partner of
hanrahanMeyers architects, has crafted an architectural and urban
design practice that includes sound as an intimate aspect of the
designed environment. Meyers analyses the shape of sound;
architecture and sound; form; materiality; windows; the urban
soundscape, its politics, aesthetics and social character;
reflection; virtuality; sound art; and silence. This sequel to
Designing with Light offers new theoretical insights into sound and
the spatial experience accompanied by several key case studies.
These include Meyers' work with Stephen Vitiello, whose piece A
Bell For Every Minute animated the New York High Line project, and
her collaborations with composer and sound artist Michael
Schumacher. Digital Water i-Pavilion, located opposite Ground Zero
in Manhattan, has proved particularly innovative: Schumacher's
score, developed especially for the building, has been etched into
a glass facade which can be 'played' by the public via an app;
onlookers direct their mobile phones at the glass to read and hear
the music. Sound is not simply music however, and Meyers reflects
upon this in her quest for an understanding of architecture as an
auditory environment, through examples of buildings and materials
which inspire and possess characteristic sonic properties.
