Vitra and Blueprint present the Audile Interpretation Workshop: An Exploration into Sound and Environment.
During the London Design Festival, the spirit of the Boisbuchet workshops will be recreated at Vitra’s base in Clerkenwell. Architect ODA, in association with sound artist Craig Vear and designer Andrew Lock, will explore sonic experience with groups of students and professionals. How much of the world do we experience through sound? When you close your eyes do you become more aware of the world behind you? Does the aural environment change more rapidly than the visual one?
Two one-day workshops will focus on the experience of space through sound; what kind of shapes enhance or restrict, what kind of textures absorb or reflect? Participants will create listening devices that capture, re-interpret and re-imagine the environment, and perhaps generate their own sound in response.
The workshops will take place 10am-5pm, 24 and 25 September at Vitra, EC1. To book call 020 7608 6200 or write to andrew.lock@vitra.com
