Rooms that lengthen with music

On brutalism, warmth and the architecture of a listening space.

Some of the best rooms I have ever heard music in were not designed for music.

A stairwell in Barcelona. An underground in Cuba. A parking lot at dusk. OK, also the 1001 basement at Brick Lane :)

What they share is immensity.

Sound needs somewhere to go.

It needs some space and people to lengthen inside.
