Tvisongur sound sculpture

Seydisfjordur, East Iceland 

“Tvisongur is built of concrete and consists of five interconnected domes of different sizes. The heights of the domes are between 2 and 4 meters and they cover an area of about 30 square meters. Each dome has its own resonance that corresponds to a tone in the Icelandic musical tradition of five-tone harmony, and works as a natural amplifier to that tone.”

Roone Arledge Auditorium in Lerner Hall

The thick velvet curtain and the sound isolating wood floor help absorb sound. High wall and ceiling panels help disperse sound back to the lower portion of the auditorium.
