Jess Myers: "Adventures in Audiosocial Space"

Architecture Spring 2024 Lecture Series - February 16, 2024 at Slocum Hall.
ADVENTURES IN AUDIOSOCIAL SPACE
In this lecture, Myers will propose sound studies as a critical framework for urban and architectural analysis. Myers challenges architecture’s exclusive relationship with visual communication and proposes instead a practice of “listening.” Myers will make the case for architects’ ears, for how they can be attuned to the soundscapes of the built environment and how a practice of “listening” might impact the dynamics of power in shared and personal space.
