Musik-Architektur-Gespräche: Anregungen - Ein (Rück-)Blick in die Zukunft

Whether one wants to speak of intersections, of contrasts, of complements, of inspiration, one thing remains: In the two arts of music and architecture, the perception and design of space is completely different. Architects construct buildings, musicians use them. Architects look at rooms, musicians listen to them.

The music-architecture talks reinterpret the differences, about which much has already been said, and stimulate a "perspective dialogue." The two arts exert an ancient mutual fascination on each other. This will be explored and the creative potential that exists at the intersection of the arts will be demonstrated: What can architects learn from musical spatial perception and design - and vice versa? Even more: How would space be designed if both arts were included in the design on an equal footing?

The Music-Architecture Talks deliberately choose a descriptive approach, which is surprisingly new: Only what can be demonstrated directly on site by hearing and seeing is negotiated, and what is directly comprehensible to the audience. In the process, some so-called "parallels between the arts" are cleared up, which still persist in literature, but which are "sensually" irrelevant, even false. Not only does this approach to the subject make the conversations varied and easily accessible, but the protagonists of both arts are also asked to argue comprehensibly and, if possible, without abstract "thought scaffolding" close to perceptual realities.
