Mining the urban unconscious: The role of sound and light in the shaping of temporal spatial interventions

This paper exposes the themes explored and design outcomes produced from the `Sound and Vision¿ Undergraduate Interior Design studio run in the second semester of 2008. The studio considered the dynamics of selected iconic spaces within Melbourne's Central Business District and asked how sound and light could be employed to expose the context, history and issues of a particular site, and in doing so, evoke moods and emotions that create a new reading of the space. The paper discusses the processes and perceptual sensibilities employed in the development of the design studio project.
