"The structure is composed of a regular grid of vertical wooden slats that define the spatial enclosure while remaining visually permeable. The slats are suspended at varying lengths, forming an irregular lower edge that softens the boundary between architecture and landscape. Perforations integrated at the ends of selected elements introduce an acoustic dimension, allowing the pavilion to respond to wind conditions."
"Light and shadow play a central role in shaping the spatial experience. The open arrangement of the slats allows sunlight to pass through the structure, creating changing patterns throughout the day and reinforcing the pavilion's temporal and environmental responsiveness. Structurally, the installation rests on slender vertical supports anchored directly into the ground, minimizing impact on the site and reinforcing the project's temporary character."
Cappella del Suono is a small-scale pavilion by Studio Carraldo positioned on a hillside in the Marche grain fields and completed in summer 2025. The lightweight structure uses a regular grid of vertical wooden slats suspended at varying lengths to create a visually permeable enclosure with an irregular lower edge that integrates with the landscape. Perforated slat ends produce wind-driven, layered acoustic effects that can recall nearby convent bells depending on wind strength and direction. Sunlight passing through the open slat arrangement casts changing patterns that emphasize temporal responsiveness. Slender vertical supports are anchored directly into the ground and untreated wood is used to allow natural weathering.
