About this title

Synopsis

Architecture and music share many parallel and intersecting elements. Recent developments in the music and film industries have given rise to new building types for audio and visual media. These projects require a comprehensive approach from various disciplines to bridge architecture, art, and technology. For more than 10 years studio bau:ton has been pre-eminently involved in drawing together these diverse disciplines. This book is an eclectic survey of issues central to building for contemporary media. Renowned guest authors from the fields of media and architecture have contributed ideas and projects, and a detailed overview of architectural acoustics serves as an integrated technical guide. Practical applications are presented in a illustrated portfolio of distinguished projects by studio bau:ton, including the Fox Scoring Stage in Los Angeles, Bad Animals in Seattle, Sony Music in Tokyo and many more. Peter Grueneisen is the principal architect and a founder of studio bau:ton.
