"Picture a structure that looks like it's floating in a grain field, its wooden slats hanging down like a delicate curtain swaying in the breeze. Now imagine that when the wind picks up, this architectural installation doesn't just move, it sings. That's exactly what Studio Carraldo has created with the Cappella del Suono, or Chapel of Sound, nestled in the rolling hills of Lunano, Italy's Marche region."
"The pavilion is deceptively simple at first glance. It's a 16-square-meter wooden grid structure made entirely of vertical slats, but here's where things get interesting. These slats aren't cut to a uniform length. Instead, they're suspended at varying heights, creating an undulating bottom edge that resembles a hanging wooden curtain dancing just above the landscape. This isn't just an aesthetic choice, though it's certainly beautiful. It's what makes the structure come alive."
Cappella del Suono is a 16-square-meter wooden grid pavilion composed of vertical slats suspended at varying heights to form an undulating bottom edge. Each wooden element is drilled at specific points so that wind or human contact causes the pieces to knock together and create layered acoustic textures. Sound changes with wind strength and direction, and can echo nearby church bells to form an unexpected acoustic dialogue. The pavilion is intentionally permeable to wind, light, and views, blending into the grain fields while acting as a distinct, site-specific architectural presence.
