Faculty of Design at Shenkar, Ramat-Gan In collaboration with Faculty of Design, at HAW in Hamburg offered Summer-Workshop on Music as a media for generating architectural form in the city of Hamburg; Two complementary summer workshops were organized and led by Arch. S. Kirshner and Des. E. Gilboa;

The workshop’s agenda was located in an interdisciplinary field, between Music and Architecture, as two complementary fields that affect each other. The interaction between Sound and Architecture leans on the premise that sound is a design tool and not only a decoration that we add at the end of design process. As long as we assume that Sound affects the way we feel and behave in space, we can capture sound parameters from existing environment and implement its influence back into our built environment as form generator.

Those themes were discussed simultaneously, both in hands on classes and in outdoor tours in the city. Hands on classes included learning and implementation of three software: ParaCloud ™, Rhino ® and EyesWeb©, software that allows us to sample sound in real time from built environment and convert it into numeric data. During the workshop we discussed methods for integrating the above mentioned tools into design process.
The final exhibition took place at the foyer in School of Building & Environment Design at Shenkar College IL.
