I researched the phenomenology of aural architecture for postgraduate thesis. I inventively arranged an urban plan with a supporting exposition of acoustic exhibits. Click the link at the bottom of this scroll device to read the entire book.

SYNOPSIS

I have a natural tendency to see sound. I was born profoundly deaf and grew up with hearing aids. I was enrolled at an oral deaf program, learning how to hear and speak. Having the ability to travel to both physical worlds of sound, i.e. deaf and non-deaf, it brought to me a new perception of architecture. I can perceive how architecture is celebrated with and without auditory. This rare cognitive ability gave me a chance to advocate the awareness of acoustic design and aural architecture. Phenomenologically, I can visualize a space, open or occupied, in detail. I enjoy experiencing space pensively in silence, yet find some places unpleasant when the physiological of hearing is activated.

As a deaf person, I am inspired to investigate how sound can be aesthetically influenced and relevant in architecture.
