Architectural Sound

I specifically homed in on 2 designers who's structural creations are continuously inspired by sound; Anish Kapoor (UK) & Maya Lin (USA). Their manipulation of materials and space could be very influential when drawing up concepts.

'Melancholia' MAC Grand Hornu, Belgium 2004, Anish Kapoor 
 
The reason I have singled out the piece above is because it was constructed in fabric. The paneling and overall lines of the structure help take into consideration how such forms can be assembled. Visit Kapoor's site to see more innovative works: http://www.anishkapoor.com/works/gallery/index.htm 
 
Maya Lin: 'Above and Below' 2007 (left), 'Topologies' 1997 (right)

Maya Lin: 'What Is Missing?' Exhibit,

Again the use of Art & Architecture successfully portrays elements of sound; considering projection, manipulation, frequencies & aerodynamics. Endless interpretations of contour and silhouette lend themselves to fashion design. ...Combined with fragmentation should assist me in developing a unique conceptual output.
