“I still cannot speak the language of the city I am currently living in, but it feels like I can navigate through the narrative noises of this language.”
The research of Ismini Christakopoulou conceives sounds as constructive material, as architectural elements that allow a space to emerge, and explores the interdependence between human experience, understanding and the surrounding. The aim is to exercise on acoustic ‘imaging’ systems towards formulating an alternative way of feeling, perceiving, attributing space through sound. The key-core question is: “how could space be experientially visualized solely via sound”.
Ismini Christakopoulou is a Greek chartered architect and experimental artist based in Vienna. She holds a Master of Science on Urban Strategies from the University of Applied Arts Vienna (2015) and a Master of Architecture from the Technical University of Crete, Greece (2012). The practice of Ismini Christakopoulou is located on the interdisciplinary area of architecture, physics and acoustics.
