Buildings come to exist as sites of memory and
imagination. Any built space, whether constructed for habitation or utility,
resonates with the human activity that has occurred within it. Our experience
of a space is influenced by many things; by knowledge of the functions of the
space, by cultural associations, by memory and imagination. The way we
experience a space is determined largely by our aural perception of that space.
One can be in a room in complete darkness and yet still have a powerful sense of
our own physical presence within it, through the sound of footfall, of the
voice and even the sound of our our breath.
