I discovered that in a world where there is a museum for almost everything, there was no museum dedicated to audio. As a great music lover, I immediately wanted to know more.
In South Korea, near Seoul, a new museum founded by acoustician Michael Chung promises a “special healing and sensory experience” centered on sound.
While the concept of healing may seem unconventional, Kengo Kuma perfected the idea by emphasizing the ability of architecture and materials to stimulate all the senses, even beyond sound.
The result is one of the most compelling cultural projects of the year.
The newly opened Audeum is both a temple to the finest audio equipment in history and a showcase for how Kengo Kuma uses architecture and materials to awaken the senses.
