Architecture / Film Residency / Sound / Tsqaltubo, Georgia . 2020

a film residency which focuses on foley sound design in the semi-abandoned town of Tsqaltubo, Georgia. An abandoned bathhouse is redesigned with a new architecture which houses a set of soundscapes, to create a pedagogical environment where the building becomes an active teacher to its residents.

The design methodology focuses on key moments within the building, where people would carry out their normal daily rituals. The staircase, the wall, the door – all architectural elements - are redesigned as instruments whose form and scale are not only informed by orthodox spatial requirements but also by their sonic qualities and ability to re-create sounds from director’s Otar Iosseliani’s sound palette.
