Listen "Ep 3: Why Architecture and Music are the Same"
Episode Synopsis
Architecture and Music - two of the most powerful art forms on the planet (and my two favorite!) are linked through their use of elemental proportion systems. According to Goethe, “Music is liquid architecture and Architecture is frozen music." We'll explore how both art forms are constructed and touch on the theory and scientific discoveries behind this relationship.
