Archiol has organized this second edition of the Aural Architecture design competition to understand the possibilities of spaces designed with the help of sound.

“When I see architecture that moves me, I hear music in my inner ear.” – Frank Lloyd Wright

SOUND TO SPACE –
This competition encourages using the sense of sound to design architectural space, depicting emotions and humanising the habitable volume encompassed by walls. Use your auditory sense to develop abstract architectural space which exhibits an emotion of itself.
