▶︎ oscillation. the sound of architecture.
This project explores how architecture can be experienced as music, guided by the principle “sound follows form”. The Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille is transformed into sound, with its Belle Époque rhythm and structure expressed through an arpeggio pattern echoing the era’s ornamental detail. Columns translate into string ostinatos, arches shape melodies, and the foundation resonates with deep tones. In the same way that past visions of progress fused tradition and innovation, this approach reimagines architecture as a dynamic, multi-sensory experience.
