The term 'silence' is not referring mere absence of sound,
but the spatial atmosphere related to our independent sensory and mental state,
which could be listened, observed, known and even touched.

What is aural architecture ?
What is aural architecture ?
In our techno-visual culture, the ascendancy of vision as the primary means for sensing the physical
world has undermined the importance of hearing. Yet the aural experience of an environment is
critically important to the social and emotional well-being of the inhabitants.Listening has been proved as the highest order among all other senses .You know Why ?
We dont listen only through our ears ,we listen through our whole body _by the vibrations .So a user can perceive a space through listening .
An aural space is thus an area where inhabitants can hear sonic events, and this definition of space is often unrelated to the visual experience.
However, we tend to only
recognize the aural architecture of a space when its hostile and corrosive acoustics transform
background sounds into a deafening roar.
Aural architecture2 refers to the human experience of sound-in-space; the aural architecture of a space modifies the experience of sound sources as well as providing a means for experiencing passive objects and geometries directly.
Aural architecture contains at least five types of spatiality:
navigational,
social,
musical,
aesthetic,
and symbolic.

How to process Urban noise
How to process ?
Flow
of Water and birds chirp has the capacity to curb Urban noise around us
in the metropolitan cities . Flow of water and noise has the same frequency so
when overlapped it has the power to
nullify the effect through the concept of Standing wave .As architects we do
not consider the Aural experience of a space ,by increasing the greenery and
flow of water as urban elements ,the experience is enhanced.

Sound healing
"Sound is the medicine of the future." Edgar Cayce
Most ancient cultures used the seemingly magical power of sound to heal.
The Aboriginal people of Australia are the first known culture to heal with sound.
The Egyptian and Babylonian cultures used drums and rattles, two of the earliest known musical instruments. The low frequency sounds from drums and the ultra sound created by rattles are both now known to accelerate healing.
In the Greco-Roman period healing temples were used for "incubation", a process in which patients underwent "dream sleep", among other known modalities. It seems likely that music was used therapeutically during their stay and the reverberant spaces of the temples enhanced the efficiency of acoustic instruments, a function of the solid stonewalls of temples and sanatoria.
Resonance may be the most important principle of sound healing and has various definitions.
The resonance principle relates to the cellular absorption of the healing sounds and/or their harmonics.

form from sound
Sound can create form
the way sound is articulated around us helps our aural sense to perceive it in such a way that it tends to visualize the pattern in which it moves

here we have tried to create a helical form through the buzzers arrrnged and programmed to be articulated inside a glass box .so when a user is made to listen ,he percieves the sphere around him not the cuboid .
