Sound It: Investigação no Ar

Investigation on the Air, Academia out of doors

The ‘Investigation on the Air’ programme arose from a challenge launched by Professor Paulo Tormenta Pinto, as part of the thematic line: ‘Representation and Discourse in Architecture and Territory’, which is part of the PhD programme in Architecture of Contemporary Metropolitan Territories at ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa. Inspired by the concept of Radio Antecâmara, the PhD students were led to reflect on methodological aspects and communication techniques in order to present the themes they are developing as part of their ongoing research.

Sound It brings Rádio Antecâmara’s residency to Garagem Sul at CCB. With a wide-ranging programme over six months, the studio welcomes numerous guests, and it is through dialogues between architects, artists and designers, and in conversations with poets and landscape designers, between interludes made of sounds and music, that Rádio Antecâmara takes a closer look at our contemporaneity.
The programme hosts interviews and conversations recorded on the opening day of the exhibition and future programmes, the result of integrating new elements into Radio through Open Call.
Sound It explores the ways in which sound constructs and shapes perception and spatial experience. Transcending the visual dimension and going beyond acoustics, Sound It delves into the perceptual, narrative, emotional and referential dimensions of space. It’s a subjective journey to discover an invisible architecture, a space perceived sonically, an audible and emotional place.
The word is the virus of radio, sound is the matter of space.
