Sensory Space is an architecture of passage, in which silence takes on spatial consistency.
Not as absence, but as perceptual matter.
A threshold path leads into a structure of concrete and light.
The rhythm of the vertical columns, arranged like measured presences, creates a continuous dialogue between interior and exterior, between body and landscape. The sequence does not guide, but accompanies: it invites us to slow down, to pause, to perceive.
Space does not offer itself as a concluded form, but as a temporal experience.
Light marks the pace, emptiness amplifies listening, and the body's movement becomes part of the work. In this balance, space becomes resonance and sound dissolves into the measure of light.
Sensory Space is an essential gesture, which does not seek effects but conditions.
It holds an open question: how much silence can architecture inhabit?
Work presented at the 13thInternational Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia (2012) .
The project is analyzed in the scientific volume On Soul and Earth: The Psychic Value of Place by Elena Liotta (Routledge, 2006, ISBN 978-1-317-72361-5).
It is also the subject of the encyclopedic entry “ Sensory space ” on Wikipedia
