EXPERIMENTS ON RELATIONS BETWEEN GEOMETRY, ARCHITECTURE, AND MUSIC

摘要

This paper presents some results of an interdisciplinary project where we brought together geometry, architecture and music. This combination enables a visual and audible approach to formal thinking of sciences. Geometry has the role of formalization and mediation of the relations between architecture and music. Pythagoras' ideas about harmony and proportions impressed over many centuries the formation processes in music. In architecture Le Corbusier and Xenakis for example stand for corresponding creations in architecture and music compositions. In the interdisciplinary project we worked together with students of architecture and mathematics of the University of Kaiserslautern and with students of music composition of the Music Academy of Cologne in Germany/The theoretical and historical analyses formed the basis for own creative works in interdisciplinary groups. The results of the creative works of the students were presented in a concert with visual presentations and geometrical objects with the title "Sound-Sights. Seeing Music - Hearing Geometry". Some examples of the student projects will give an impression of the interdisciplinary experiments.
