There’s no such thing as peace and quiet. Interrogating silence as both an aesthetic ideal and a political condition, Issue
#10 of Crumble explores how spaces conceal, pacify and erase disruption within architectural narratives. Being quiet is a privilege, but it is also a mechanism of control. Who is granted quiet, and who is silenced in its name? What are we selective about hearing? What forms of noise, be they labour, protest or domestic life, are we taught to ignore? And whose peace is being preserved, maintained, and defended, at what cost? What are the noises of unrest today?
