THE CITY AS VISUALIZED MUSIC


AIMS

Every city is a unique piece of music. Its rhythm is reflected by the incidental cadence (pulsation, undulation) of the urban structures and structural elements; its pitch reverberated by the various hues of colours, while its melodic leitmotifs translate into the recurring urban visual patterns. In this workshop, students will try to capture the harmonies of the architecture around them and create the sheet music of their city.

METHOD
Students will use their camera in the exploration of their urban surroundings looking for unique visual rhythm, color harmonies and patterns (contrasts, contextual interrelations, and constellations) in the architectural environment (structures, facades, details, etc.) prepare their personal “musical” reading of the city through architectural photo series.
TECHNIQUE
The final outcome of the workshop is 3 unique, and carefully composed architecture photo series
(8-12 photos each)
STRENGTHS
Developing a new perspective and understanding of the individual character of our urban environment. Learning to see and imagine.
