THE ARMADILLO: Exploring New Sonic Dimensions

The speech will focus on the importance of sound and acoustics within spatial design. Unknown Works is fascinated by how our perception of sound impacts our experience of the built environment, especially when it comes to crafting spaces for introspection and calm. The talk will contextualise the studio's research through the development and construction of The Armadillo, a groundbreaking experimental CLT pavilion designed and built for both personal and collective enjoyment of sound. The talk will also discuss the importance of sustainability in construction and showcase how the structure has been designed with adaptability and reuse in mind.
