Sonified Topography: Translating Wave Forms into Frequency

challenges the static nature of interior design by introducing topological fluidity. The project rejects the conventional separation of ceiling, wall, and furniture, instead proposing a continuous architectural landscape derived from the geometry of ocean swells. The design creates an immersive environment where patrons dwell within an abstract seascape.

"The visual waves are given an auditory dimension through "Sonified Topography." Using a process of data sonification, the specific wavelengths and frequencies of the ceiling forms are translated into a generative soundscape."
