Listening to architecture
“Sense of Architecture” at the Museum of Finnish Architecture in Helsinki invites a sensory exploration of built space.
Can you listen to architecture? The answer lies in the project “Sense of Architecture” curated by Charlotte Pöchhacker of Artimage (the Austrian biennial of media and architecture), presented at the last Venice Biennale and now showing at the Museum of Finnish Architecture in Helsinki (from 13 March to 31 May). The aim, in the words of Luigi Nono, is “to awaken the ear, the eyes, human thinking, intelligence to hear different sounds, other ideas, without always wanting to rediscover one’s own mechanisms”. Forty-two Austrian architectural projects, analysed from a visual and acoustic point of view by German filmmaker Heinz Emigholz with a highly sensitive fixed camera, have been gathered together in a kind of audio-visual map. Meanwhile forty-two videos, shown on multiple screens in a project by Alexander Kada, immerse the viewer in the complexity of built space, organised around six themes: Cultures of Living, Buildings in Historical Contexts, Public Spaces and Public Structures, Rurbanity, Art and Architecture, Science and Architecture.
