The second event in Graz offered a preview of the ongoing three-year project. These discoveries were meticulously discussed among a curated group of guests and subsequently presented to a wider audience during an intimate symposium held directly on the premises. To immerse themselves in the building's intricate sound composition, attendees were escorted to the second floor via an elevator, which could accommodate only eight individuals at a time. Upon arrival, amidst the immaculate interior characterized by pristine white floors, walls, and ceilings, the ambience elicited a surreal, almost science-fiction-like sensation.

As the windows were slightly opened, the cacophony of the external world flooded in, juxtaposing the serene interior with the bustling streets outside. This interplay formed the essence of the composition, blending the sterile ambience of the second floor with its acoustic nuances and visual aesthetics, contrasting with the dynamic environment beyond. In this convergence of two distinct spaces, the composition echoed the coexistence of contrasting world perspectives within a single architectural setting.
