Loudspeaking Architecture
Deborah Garcia is an architectural designer and researcher whose work focuses on reimagining everyday structures through multisensory activation. Her recent research developed strategies for using sound as an architectural medium and historical record.
Loudspeaking Architecture will track a series of projects that use sonic activation and listening as methods for rethinking our relationship to space. Tracking across a series of interventions: a 9-foot tall sound tower, a 60-foot long folding wall, a 3-month long soundtrack, a 15-minute 87,000 sq ft sonic exhale—Deborah considers the ways in which buildings rumble with life, and invites us to listen in.
