Architecture can make many sounds. Some of those sounds can
be loud and grand while others can be quite and intimate. Many of the sounds
can be made when an object strikes the Architecture, but most of the sounds are
created when other sounds strike the Architecture. The stairwell in Annex North
is an example of both. The space itself is made of brick and metal and is very
tall. That makes sound echo throughout the space. The water that runs through
the supply and return pipes creates the sound of a large waterfall or a small
stream depending on the amount of water flowing through the pipes. That sound
travels around the space and completely transforms the space from a space of
vertical transition to a space to be enjoyed. The sound can slow one down as
they hurry from one level to the next.
