'The Colors of Noise'
Moderator's statement for Architectones 2009. Arc-et-Senans, July 4-5, 2009:

The fact that buildings are increasingly equipped with technological apparatuses has changed the appearance, function and use of space. Interior rooms, which once were hidden places of retreat behind thick walls, have turned into hyperactive spaces with constant background noises. –Such a statement might seem exaggerated, yet the urban, architectural and cultural history demonstrate that climate control, sound design and the exclusion of noises have changed the aural environment and the relationship of interior and exterior space.
Meaning and use of the term 'noise' have changed over the centuries. Since the 1960s, physicists and lawyers have introduced a series of instruments to define what noise is: Still, it is nothing but 'unwanted sound', however these regulations, laws and maximum levels have made noise a determining factor in architecture and urbanism. The current practice is focussed on excluding outside noise from the interior, with consequences to the form and orientation of urban space that are yet to be evaluated.
While writing this, the sound insulating windows of my living room are wide open, letting the hiss and hum of the traffic into the room. One could ask why the car industry invests so much money into sound design and active noise canceling inside the car, and none into more quiet tire textures, or engines. This opens up vast social questions of a democracy of sound. Or, and this is a suggestion for individual use, one could listen, and seek architectural strategies in the tradition of Max Neuhaus' sound walks that he even began before the word 'soundscape' was used in music and architecture.
