– Casa Wabi 2016

Community Project

El lenguaje de las paredes – Músicos tradicionales
The language of the walls was a study on the acoustics of the architectural work of Casa Wabi and the way in which sound reacts to it. This work sought to sculpt a sonic architecture and discover the different ways in which sound reacts to decisions and the will of the architect.

This project gives Casa Wabi the opportunity to take its architecture to different museums and galleries thanks to its ability to present itself inside and outside its facilities in the state of Oaxaca; will give recognition to his work and the architectural work that is Casa Wabi. The project also involved ethnographic documentation of music originating in the region. This file was donated to the National Fonoteca and the CENIDIM (National Center for Research, Documentation and Musical Information).
