The interaction between music and architecture can create a unique experience that encourages synesthesia and cross-modal perception. Through the synergy of these two arts, it is possible to design spaces that enhance aesthetic experiences and evoke emotional intensities, ultimately leading to a deeper cross-sensory understanding. The aim of this study is to identify and explore the synergy between music and architecture in various architectural works and to examine them through this lens of synthesis.The first chapter introduces the concept of synesthesia, breaking it down to examine how it manifests in music and architecture separately, and then exploring the friction and collaboration between these two fields. The following chapter presents specific examples of spaces where music and architecture converge to create synesthetic experiences. It includes detailed analyses of the design and experiential qualities of selected case studies, particularly the Philips Pavilion by Le Corbusier and Iannis Xenakis, and the Stretto House by Steven Holl.The study concludes by discussing ways in which this synergy and the resulting synesthetic effect can be applied to re-establish a meaningful connection between people, space, and emotion, ultimately contributing to improved spatial quality and sustainability.
