RESONATE: MAAT & reSITE partner on a sound and architecture conference

On February 12, 2018, MAAT Museum and reSITE will bring world’s best creators of sound spaces and acoustic experiences to Lisbon. During a one-day international event supported by Meyer Sound, we will be thinking about sound and space with architects of the most fascinating contemporary music and culture venues and designers of intriguing sound environments. Artist-led tours, innovative technologies, demonstrations and performances will be part of the event, on top of keynote lectures and discussions with editors from globally leading media. Early bird registrations are open for this one-of-a-kind event for architects, artists, engineers and anyone interested in how sound interacts with architecture. The price will increase on January 16th.

Sound and acoustic aspects are crucial for people’s experience of public spaces that have always been reSITE’s core interest. We are proud to present with the MAAT Museum the absolute essence of the best knowledge from around the world on the intersection of architecture and sound innovation, and their crossovers to art and experiment.
