The Song of the Architect

Abstract

This project explores the intersection of vocal expression, architecture, and AI to create personalized, expressive architectural designs that translate the unique vocal patterns of individuals into geometric and spatial forms. By combining spectrography, systemic analysis, and parametric design tools, this work redefines how voice can shape physical space. Inspired by the work of Iannis Xenakis, the project seeks to design an interactive architectural space that allows users to experience their own voices in a tangible, creative way, fostering a deeper connection between individuals and their environments. A fictional narrative, featuring tools like the Aesthetimeter, serves as an allegorical framework for exploring the translation of intangible vocal aesthetics into architectural form. This approach blends advanced technology with a narrative-driven exploration of how sound and space intersect. Additionally, the project emphasizes the preservation of human identity and authenticity in an increasingly automated world, prompting for a more expressive, human-centric design process. Ultimately, the project seeks to redefine the role of the human voice in architecture, carving out a space for creative self-expression in a world at the precipice of AI and automation.
