Warbling Machines: Mechanisms for Shaping the Soundscape aims to explore the figural-representational space existing between sound and image in the fields of architecture and landscape. The path outlined for this study is based on a dialogue between the dissemination of media for landscape representation, architectural practice, and the theory of territorial composition from an artistic perspective. The ultimate goal of this research is to explore the logic underlying the construction of the concept of soundscape. Developed with a cross-disciplinary approach as its first principle and enthusiastically pursuing the renewal of the foundations of contemporary landscape architecture, this research seeks the mechanisms that, through the transposition into the plastic realm of what we will call the sonic expression of a territory, allow for the formation of an image or representation from the invisible (sound), from which the basic compositional structures and systems that produce the construction of the concept of landscape can be extracted.
