______________
Do you hear it? -the hum of urban landscapes, the echoes of history embedded in architecture, and the subtle ways sound shapes our perception of space and time.
This newspaper is a culmination of artistic tests and experiments in the intersections of sound, public space, and the built environment—a dialogue between art, architecture, and collective imagination.
Within these pages, you’ll find essays, interviews, speculative obituaries and diagrams tracing the contours of imagined and real sonic spaces. You’ll encounter the faint ticking of forgotten clocks, the rhythms of industrial transformation, and voices—both human and more-than-human—that inhabit our shared environments.
What happens when we slow down to listen? What stories emerge from the silence, and what futures can we imagine when we tune into the sound of the present?
Through these explorations, Public Retreat invites you to navigate the unseen, to follow sound as it curves through time and space, and to reimagine the urban fabric—not as a static structure, but as a vibrant, ever-shifting sonotope.
Welcome dear explorer.
