Ein transdisziplinรคrer Beitrag von Hans-Jรผrg Meier (1964โ2015)

The historically widely attested affinity between the building arts and the sound arts is increasingly demonstrated in the course of the 20th century by the use of many common terms and concepts. However, changes in the fields of application lead to shifts in meaning, which can often lead to misunderstandings. The transdisciplinarity between architecture and music is therefore brought into question.
Notation, however, is situated at an intersection where music is directly graphically noted and illustrated. The figurative nature of notation allows compositions to be judged by the visual appearance and impression of the scores. Furthermore, the notation system was extended in the 20th century by various graphic concepts. Graphic thinking thus becomes a new means of addressing the interrelation between architecture and music.
The aim of this research project is to systematically grasp the common graphical thinking of architectural design and musical composition in the 20th century. New insights are to be gained, on the one hand by examining the architecture-related compositions of Hans-Jรผrg Meier, and on the other hand by experimenting with a transdisciplinary design and composition method based on studies of Paul Klee's transdisciplinary didactics and Hermann Meier's graphic composition method.
