His pieces for electronic birds, long wires, and brainwaves all utilized space and sound in very interesting ways that could be characterized as both "minimal" and "architectural".  And then there is, of course, the Dream House designed by LaMonte Young and Marian Zazeela.  Lots of info available on the MELA foundation website.  There is another more contemporary artist whose name I can't recall right now who does work involving sound and architecture and who has stirred some controversy because of fear that the frequencies he uses have the potential to literally bring the house down.  Wish I could remember his name.  Maybe somebody else here knows who I am talking about.  Anyway, the Alvin Lucier and LaMonte Young pieces should fit your theme quite well and are definitely worth investigating either way.  love, mhwrpc
