MIA – AIM Site
This event was an actual plant of new ideas and challenging thoughts, somehow continuing the trend started in the 2006 Convention in Toronto. A great initiative by the School of Architecture and Design at UT Austin.

The enigma of Vitruvian resonating vases and the relevance of the concept for today by Rob Godman
This paper discusses Vitruvius’ resonating vessels and their implementation in the design of theaters. Additionally, the author also proposes a creative application of the principle through additive synthesis techniques in Max/Msp.

Resonance: Essays on the intersection of Music and Architecture
This book is a must-be-read work by Mikesch W. Muecke and Miriam S. Zach.
“Essays on the Intersection of Music and Architecture” is a collection of nine texts written by international scholars. Most of the essays were originally presented at the interdisciplinary conference Architecture | Music | Acoustics that took place in Toronto, Canada, in June 2006 at Ryerson University. The texts range from historiographical and theoretical explorations of the relations between music and architecture via translations of architectural spaces into music to analytical case studies of architectural spaces for musical performance. The book includes illustrations, author biographies, and an index.
Arquitectura en movimiento: un modelo para la composicion musical
SINTESIS
Los datos acústicos de un espacio cerrado ofrecen una inequívoca descripción numérica de sus propiedades sonoras. Como en la música, estas propiedades se ubican en el ámbito de la frecuencia, el tiempo y la amplitud. El presente trabajo propone un modelo para “traducir” sistemáticamente los datos acústicos de una sala en términos musicales; datos meramente numéricos se transforman – a través del método propuesto – en la esencia del proceso creativo de una composición musical.

This work is a creative application of the compositional model based on acoustical measurements. Take a look at the pdf score.
Etude for string quartet based on acoustic measurements
A model for music composition based on acoustics measurements
The architectural acoustics’ data obtained from an enclosed space provides a unique numerical description of the aural properties of that specific space. These properties – like music – are in the realm of frequency, time and amplitude. This model proposes a system that “translates” the acoustical data of a room into musical terms, transforming the merely numerical acoustical values into the identity of a musical composition.
