Sound as Invisible Architecture with Foster & Partners, Meyer Sound | RESONATE

Описание: Michael Jones, senior partner at London-based Foster + Partners, along with Meyer Sound founders John and Helen Meyer, and senior engineer/project director John Pellowe, talk sound and space at RESONATE. Michael Jones delves into the challenges of designing the Bloomberg building, while Meyer Sound experts explain the “invisible architecture” of their Constellation Acoustic System. Meyer Sound’s projects use technological advancements in both sound engineering in architecture to manipulate and shape spaces ranging from concert halls to offices, with the ability to make a space seem vastly different in scale than it may otherwise appear.

Michael Jones is deputy head of studio at Foster + Partners and has worked on a number of museum and education projects, including the expansion of the Imperial War Museum, London. John and Helen Meyer co-founded Berkeley, California based Meyer Sound, and have been instrumental in the development of sound reinforcement technology. John Pellowe is the project director for Meyer Sound’s Constellation Systems, and has been individually nominated for four Grammy Awards, and received the 1992 Grammy for Best Engineered Recording, Classical.

RESONATE: Thinking Sound & Space was a conference on architecture, art and sound. It took place on 12 February 2018 at MAAT Museum, Lisbon, Portugal in collaboration with Meyer Sound. Video co-produced by reSITE & Canal 180
