Rhythm, Music and Architecture: A Studio Experience on Commonalities of Creative Processes
The common ground that architecture shares with other disciplines of design and planning, as well as its relation to all forms of visual arts, is evident and granted. This shared ground and the reciprocities that all inter-disciplinary relations suggest are being efficiently –and inevitably– utilized for educational purposes. For many courses in the architectural curricula, instructors and students find many opportunities to compare concepts of architecture with those of visual arts. However, one can also observe that such comparisons and relations mostly tend to be experienced through the products of such fields. The relation of art works themselves to architectural concepts becomes so boldly apparent that the comparison of the processes of artistic creation and architectural production remains secondary.
On the other hand, architectural design also shares a lot with other compositional arts that does not operate on visual terms, such as music and literature. The vocabulary on composition shared by all these disciplines with concepts such as texture, rhythm, and etc. opens up further possibilities for educational experiences on the process of creation. In this paper, such an experience that is undertaken in the 1st year studio of TED University Department of Architecture will be discussed, with its planning and preliminary results. This experience started with a workshop on body music in cooperation with an instructor on rhythm in School of Music and evolved through 2D compositions and 3D spatial organizations based on that. Throughout the process the common intellectual resources of architectural design and musical composition are utilized as a tool for architectural design education.
