​Sound and Matter in Design

Sound and Matter in Design explores the ways in which spaces, environments, and everyday experiences are shaped by sound. As this exhibition demonstrates, sound is not merely a backdrop to the unfolding of our daily routines; rather, it is a central element that is shaped by culture and shapes it in turn.

Although the world of design is identified with physical and visual elements such as materials, color, and texture, sound - which is usually perceived as an abstract element - is one of the most significant "raw materials" in the designer's toolbox, regardless of whether they are concerned with the design of an object, an item of clothing, a room, or a building. Sound assists us in defining spaces and orienting ourselves within them. Since it is based on vibrations, it also triggers physiological and emotional reactions in the listener.
