Musikens rum: metaforer, ritualer, institutioner: en kulturanalytisk studie av arkitektur i och omkring musik
Doctoral thesis,
At the intersection of architecture and musicology, with perspectives mainly of phenomenology and cultural studies, the dissertation explores relationships between music and architecture in reference to form and to the concert situation. Since the 18th Century, accelerating with the introduction of mass media, music has developed its own spatial qualities, independent of physical space. This process concurs with a strong ritualization of the musical performance, emphasizing the concert hall. The polarity between these two spatial expressions opens unto three main themes: 1. Analogies of form between music and architecture are studied in a historical overview and in three analyzed cases. Direct homologies are found between the Concert House of Gothenburg and W. A. Mozart's Symphony no. Elements of city space are applied to F. Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu Op. 66, thus exploring the explicit and implicit spatialization of the music. Traces of musical inspiration in architecture is investigated through Steven Holl's Texas Stretto House and B. Bartok's

Musikens rum - metaforer, ritualer, institutioner. En kulturanalytiskstudie av arkitektur i och omkring musik
Sammanfattning: At the intersection of architecture and musicology, with perspectives mainly of phenomenology and cultural studies, the dissertation explores relationships between music and architecture in reference to form and to the concert situation. Since the 18th Century, accelerating with the introduction of mass media, music has developed its own spatial qualities, independent of physical space. This process concurs with a strong ritualization of the musical performance, emphasizing the concert hall. The polarity between these two spatial expressions opens unto three main themes:
1. Analogies of form between music and architecture are studied in a historical overview and in three analyzed cases. Direct homologies are found between the Concert House of Gothenburg and W. A. Mozart's Symphony no. Elements of city space are applied to F. Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu Op. 66, thus exploring the explicit and implicit spatialization of the music.
