Abstract:

Architecture, with its artistic, scientific, and technological aspects, profoundly influences the human environment and interacts in an integrated relationship with various human factors-ranging from material, social, and cultural aspects to geographical and political conditions. Architectural development traditionally emphasizes visual perception over auditory elements, with architects and architecture enthusiasts primarily focusing on visual experiences. However, as architectural understanding has evolved, it has become essential to recognize that spatial perception cannot be achieved solely through visual stimuli. It also requires an appreciation of auditory experiences, particularly the qualities and effects of sound, including music, and its sensory and physical impact on architecture and its users. This research identifies a knowledge gap concerning the relationship between music and architecture, specifically how music influences architectural outcomes. The study aims to explore and analyze the fundamental principles shared by architecture and music throughout history. It further seeks to investigate how these principles can be derived from musical compositions and applied to architectural forms and configurations to enhance the design and quality of both local and global architectural products.
