The Sonic Shed Project, Portobello Road and Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

As part of Architecture Week 2007), Portobello Space and Yorkshire Sculpture Park were linked by Amenity Space’s ‘Sonic Sheds’.

Visitors were transported - aurally speaking – across the country.

The Sonic Shed Project consisted to two modified sheds place at opposite ends of the country that communicated to each other through sound. Each shed was able to record live sound from one location for playback in an alternate shed located elsewhere in the country. By transposing the sounds of one event to another the sites were linked, connecting the participant with another space and other listeners.

The project was one of the main attractions of Architecture Week 2007 and was the only multi regional event.
