A methodology for the transformation of architectural forms into music and vice-versa for the enhancement of the musical and architectural libraries

Every architectural building design is a combination of various geometrical forms. These forms are generated from the geometrical shapes such as circles, squares, and triangles which undergoes transformations to form substructures. These substructures are then organized to form an architectural design. Similarly, in music a substructure may involve one or more notes in the chosen musical scale, which undergoes transformations to form substructures. These musical substructures are then organized in appropriate musical measures to compose music. A methodology has been employed to transformed architectural substructures to form respective musical substructures and vice-versa. The methodology includes deciphering architectural building design from music and vice-versa using a grid-based logic. This grid-based logic involves the visual parameters: length, height and width in architecture and the aural parameters: time, frequency and loudness in music; for X, Y, Z axes in the respective visual and musical grid. This method has been evaluated using the transformations involved in both architecture and music. Thus, the output of the above process enhances the existing libraries in both building design and music through the transformation of substructures.
