Friedrich
Schelling's famous quote, "Architecture is Frozen Music"
attempted to find a relationship between the solidity of architecture
and the intangibility of music in his era. While the Baroque,
and subsequent Rococo, styles in architecture contain a plasticity
and flow of ornament that seems to validate the statement, it
does not go beyond purely surface characteristics. If we look
at the purpose, goal and process of both music and architecture,
finding clear relationships is difficult, though this does not
deter architects from finding inspiration in music, and vice-versa.
A good example of both is Toyo
Ito's Tower of Winds, in Yokohama, Japan, and Savvas Ysatis
and Taylor Deupree's album of the same name. |
