Today’s presentation about acoustics and architecture talked about how music changed with architecture. I have never thought of music and buildings as being related. Perhaps concert halls are the exception; very specific elements are used to create a well-balanced sound throughout the space. Today, all that was blown out of the water. Music changed because buildings changed. Given all the examples in class, it does seem plausible (although I still think this theory gives a little too much credit to architecture). In any case, we must always keep in mind that design will have an influence on people and therefore culture.
