Threshold
It is common to say that we dwell in a reality obsessed with the image. However, there are things worth saying repeatedly.
If , in the 19th century, Gottfried Semper defined fire as the symbolic and central element of architecture, it is also possible today to remember something more obvious: the body as a whole is also central to architecture, since we perceive all the information that the world gives us through the matrix of meaning that compose us; which make us human.

However, it is also worth wondering how the body is able to translate all the Raw Sensory Data of the world into spatial knowledge and understanding? What tools does the body use?
After reviewing various sources and proposing the concepts that surround it, Threshold: Imaginative Places through Raw Sound Sensory Experience, proposes an artistic and architectural experience. It is a Sound Architectural Installation that seeks to bring absent places, places of memory and / or places with which we identify ourselves, to spaces that have been stripped of their humanity, to non-places.
Thus, Threshold explores spatiality in an apparent vacuum, through virtual sound spaces.
