[http://www.journals.co.za/ej/ejour_sajah.html]0258-3542http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18208The present paper explores the correlations of music and architecture through a design studio project carried out by second year students of the Architecture programme at Nottingham Trent University in the United Kingdom. In addition the paper looks into some of the most representative architects and composers who have materialized this connectivity between space and music. Last but not least this appraisal intends to illustrate how the students’ creative process and spatial understanding may be influenced by introducing music as an analogue to understand architecture.10 p.PDFenArt Historical Work Group of South AfricaArchitectureMusicSpaceMusic pavilionsSoundArt -- HistoryArchitecture -- HistoryArticle
