july 2008

july 1 - 13 - Room Tone (18 sounds in 6 models) Brandon LaBelle - Staalplaat, Torstrasse 68 10119 Berlin

as part of Tuned City festival

Working with architects from around the world, I sent them a series of recordings of my apartment in Berlin. Trying to sound the space, the recordings document the ambient, material and dimensional conditions of the apartment. The architects were then given the task of making a physical model of the apartment by having the sounds as their only directing information. In this way, a process of translation and interpretation unfolds, incorporating an understanding, however factual or fantastical, of the auditory into the process of rendering a spatial form. The models are presented at the Staalplaat record shop and are further complemented by a series of audio recordings made by different people of their homes in the city of Berlin. The recordings form a soundtrack to the models, teasing out the relation between the audible and temporal experiences of home life and the coordinates of an architectural imagination.

Participating architects:
Reinhard Bruegmann
Carlos Campos
