Musical Inspiration

"Music, like art and architecture, has shape, texture, rhythm, emotion, and mystery. It conjures images in the mind's eye through use of narrative poetry...It washes the senses with soundscapes"

-- Mike Mays of Elliott + Associates Architects

To Goethe architecture is frozen music while Hassan Fathy is famously quoted as saying "architecture is music frozen in place and music is architecture frozen in time". So what do music and architecture have in common? Why is the relationship between architecture and music worth investigating? A July issue of Contract had an article on these interestingly different yet parallel subjects.
