“Architecture plus sound,” you ask? That’s right, you’ve heard us correctly. (Yeah, let’s just pretend we didn’t write that.) Today’s Architizer A+ Awards spotlight features five finalists that have managed to merge the physical and audible, creating interactive spaces that defy our perception of the built environment. These creative and experiential projects, ranging from a fibrous multimedia installation to an acoustics-mitigating system, are candy for both your eyes and ears. Click through to see them all!
