Hi Annick,

quickly (with reading your message) some maybe interesting tracks I found
about this topic...


La Maison du futur / The House of the Future

L'écho d'une musique abolie / Gathering Echoes

La sphère publique, la sphère privée et l'invisible / The Public, The
Private, The Invisible

in english: http://www.horizonzero.ca/textsite/dream.php?is=14&file=10&tlang=0

just take a look of some projects of Nicolas Schöffer (la ville
cybernétique) in the 50's
the concept of a house of "sound" is crossing all the XX° century
(Stockhausen, La Monte Young, Pierre Henry, and certainly a lot of other
artists...)
The Merleau-Pontian interpretation could crossed the Foucault's analysis ...


ciao ciao
