The Lost Sounds

• interiorarchitecture

The Lost Sounds addresses how the anthropocentric approach that has become dominant worldwide fragments natural ecosystems through architectural and urban production processes, placing many species under irreversible threat. The project is constructed around the projection that, if this approach continues, an ecological catastrophe will be inevitable by the year 2099. In particular, the extinction of micro-scale species is understood not merely as a loss of biodiversity, but as the collapse of the ecosystem’s holistic functioning.
Currently defined as a rigid and impermeable coastal structure focused on human use, Moda Pier is transformed within the project into a permeable, fibrous, and living architectural surface. The proposed structure softens the sharp boundary between land and sea, generating new micro-habitats for diverse species. Research, observation, food production, and care units are spatially intertwined, forming an integrated system that supports ecological processes.
The Lost Sounds reconsiders architecture beyond a human-centered mode of production, redefining it as a spatial system that sustains multi-species continuity and operates in collaboration with ecological processes. The project argues that species under threat of extinction, along with silenced ecological voices, can be made visible once again through architecture.
