Augmented Structures v1 Acoustic Formations
Istiklal Street

“Augmented Structures v1.1 : Acoustic Formations/Istiklal Street” is an augmented data structure, a data installation by Refik Anadol and Alper Derinboğaz which is created through the use of innovative parametric architecture and audiovisual techniques. The projects deals with a new mediated space: How to translate the logic of media into architecture? In this first experiment field recordings of Istiklal Street will be transformed in to parametric architectural structure. The sound data recordings were made by Kerim Karaoglu who also used these recordings to create an electro-acoustical composition. The project seeks interactions between space, sound, visual, data and light. A similar connection between architecture and media has been experienced in Philips Pavilion of Le Courbusier in 1958.
