Summary:

"Architecture and music share many parallel and intersecting elements. Recent developments in the music, film, and media industries have given rise to new building types of audio and visual media. These projects require a comprehensive approach from the various disciplines to bridge architecture, art and technology. For more than 10 years studio bau:ton has been pre-eminently involved in drawing together these diverse disciplines." "This book is a survey of issues central to building for contemporary media. Guest authors from the fields of media and architecture have contributed ideas and projects, and a detailed overview of architectural acoustics serves as an integrated technical guide, practical applications are presented in a illustrated portfolio of projects by studio bau:ton, ranging from museums to recording studios and film production facilities. Projects like the Fox Scoring Stage in Los Angeles or Bad Animals in Seattle are complemented by international examples such as Sony Music in Tokyo, X-Art in Austria and many more."--BOOK JACKET.
