Music through architecture : contributions to an expanded practice in composition

As an architect and composer, I try to 9ind strategies for musical composition in architectural practice and thought, by reframing and confronting concepts and methodologies from both disciplines. My research aims at an expanded practice (and analysis) of musical creation, one that transverses different conceptions of space—from the score based pitch space to the social and political spaces of music’s production, performance and reception.<br><br>This practice based PhD research consists of a portfolio of nine works that were developed in a dialectical relation to these ideas.

The works are presented in a framework composed of 9ive conceptual tools used to articulate music and architecture.<br><br>These are Material, Site, Drawing, Programme and Use.
