chek out these 2 sites for some ideas and inspiration.

to clarify:
you will use software patterning a design after pre-existing interior spaces
to render a model for an object you will make, that then will represent the
music which you will play there as well? You will use architectural
software to render a model of a musical track, then physically make the
model and display in the place with the music? How will the music define
your scuplture? Will the sculpture be a stagnant or live-morphological
object responding to the music? When i walk into the space, am i looking at
an object and listening to music, is that it, is there is anything
happening? What is the relationship again between the object and the music?
how will they represent each other, exactly. Does music, (a single
track), have a distillable shape? THE PROCESS OF THOUGHT AS THE AESTHETIC OF
DESIGN, it seems like your object would have to show some progression over
time, rather than being a still unchanging form, because then that would be
THE PHYSICAL END RESULT OF THE DESIGN. Will the installation be
interactive? will the installation play the same track, represernt the same
track?
these are some initial questions, hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [idm] Random Inquiries - Sound vs. Space
Bryan,
This is a question I have often asked of myself. It is all about pushing
boundaries and finding new ways to explore. Below is an excerpt of an
e-mail I sent out to the list a few weeks ago and it pertains to a project I
am currently working on - any assistance or input on this subject would be
greatly appreciated.
I am in the beginning stages of a project in which I will be exploring the
relationship between physical space and sound, and the impact on one's
interpretations of interior architecture as it relates to sound. Part of
what we will be doing is assigning physical relationships between interior
design through the use of AutoCAD, AutoMax, Wavefront, etc. for design and
applying the exact dynamics and methodologies to software such as Acid so
that we may develop an ambient track, for example, and represent that track
physically within the scope of a constructed object.
This is fairly difficult to explain, but your feedback is important.
Essentially, I am assisting a professor in Ohio State's School of
Architecture with this for an exploratory design studio and we are working
out the glitches in order to write a proposal for a grant. Part of the
project will be a live demonstration in a gallery space and a lecture series
for the students. We will, of course, construct molds and build the
structures (think large spiral-like forms made from dhow rods and rice
paper) from the 3D renderings and the musical/sound accompaniment will
assist in trying to elicit a response. A text will be written and,
hopefully, submitted to some major publications for review and possible
publishing (think "Modernism" for example).
My questions pertain to the following:
1) Where would I find similar projects for reference purposes
2) What software would one recommend as the best to be used
3) Web sites, articles, books anyone can recommend
Again, any information provided would be extremely helpful. We have a very
vague scope in terms of this "experiment" and the point is to stimulate the
students and encourage them to think more of THE PROCESS OF THOUGHT AS THE
AESTHETIC INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN AS OPPOSED TO THE PHYSICALITY AND END
RESULT OF THE DESIGN ITSELF. We have thought of taking live recordings of
the project space during the gallery showing and even showing graphical
displays of the same process on an overhead in real time as the event
unfolds.
Again, any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
jstickel
