Being Strangers

Silent Room V0.4 (2024), in collaboration with Nathalie Harb

Commissioned by SONCITIES and presented as part of the London Festival of Architecture.

Silent Room V.04 is a sonic architecture by Nathalie Harb, part of a series of urban typologies that reimagine the city through listening. Its tent-like structure evokes a refuge, claiming the city as a place of belonging and rest. Responding to the Loughborough Junction railway station site, it is a meditation on migration and movement. A soundtrack by Gerard Gormley transplants other sounds into the site, acting as a sonic crossroads. Silent Room V.04 is a call to attune to the city of the future as a dwelling-place centred around human well-being.
