remarks on the architecture of the ancients

The decline of a metropolis leaves behind a void – to be filled with our wishes and imaginations, personal and collective utopias projected onto history.

I will not attempt to fill this absence, rather I will try to emphasize it's emptiness.
A topological survey that is not constrained to the relicts – my interest is that imaginary public space evoked by the historical background radiation of what we consider the birth of modern society – triggering a social reverberation chamber.

The sense we use to truly experience space is our hearing – I will try to make the volume of the ancient city of Messene resonate for a moment. Working with large scales and micro informations, sing impulses and their responses – empty rooms have much richer reverbs.
