Recreatura is an immersive sound-led installation that invites visitors to experience architecture through listening rather than looking. Rooted in Clerkenwell’s rich history of craft, making, and storytelling, the project uses binaural recordings captured with local residents and makers to reveal the hidden soundscapes, memories, and atmospheres that shape everyday spaces. Through voice, ambience, and acoustics, architecture is reimagined as something built not only from physical materials, but from lived experience and narrative.

Visitors select a story linked to iconic Clerkenwell locations and listen via binaural headphones, allowing them to “hear” architecture from another person’s perspective. After listening, they translate their imagined space onto ceramic tiles using markers. These individual interpretations are either taken home or added to a growing collective installation within a bespoke timber structure. The result is an evolving mosaic of imagined architecture — a shared artwork built from sound, memory, and community voices.
