Two more titles have followed (Tetsu Inoue
re: Nicholas Grimshaw's Waterloo International Terminal, and
David Toop re: Itsuko Hasegawa's Museum of Fruit) indicating
there are many more avenues to be explored between music and
architecture. From an architect's point of view this crossover
influence is refreshing, though architecture has typically limited
music's influence to related functions, such as theaters. But
to ignore music's possibility to inform architectural design
means accepting that the latter exists in a cocoon, excluded
from the world around us and its vast layers of inspiration.
The Tower of Winds, and its subsequent "soundtrack",
help us to see the possibilities.
