LONG RANGE
Ann Arbor, Michigan. Düsseldorf, Germany.
Long Range deploys the geometrical modification of glass at a variety of scales to access a continuous radient of acoustic behavior: reflective, diffusive, absorptive, and transmissive. The intention is to recalibrate geometry and sound to one another in a way that is intrinsic to surfaces, accessing seldom-used parts of the acoustic spectrum. By using glass, a material overwhelmingly deployed in our architectural spaces as flat-panes, the work beautifully coordinates acoustical and optical performance.
