Every taste describes an architectural world.
Sonic Architecture translates cultural taste signals into inhabitable 3D spaces. A visitor inputs an aesthetic collision — an artist, a film, an architectural movement, or an atmosphere — and an agent queries Qloo’s taste graph to ground room geometry, surface materials, lighting, acoustics, and generative soundtracks.
How Qloo is Used
Rather than using an LLM to hallucinate architectural specs from unstructured text, Sonic Architecture uses Qloo as a deterministic cultural ground truth through a structured 4-stage pipeline:
Resolves named artists, movies, and places against Qloo search APIs, rejecting fuzzy or partial queries.
Queries Qloo cross-domain insights to discover real venues, architectural typologies, and listening rooms frequented by that audience.
Maps cultural tags to physical materials (board-formed concrete, oak slats, velvet), RT60 reverberation, and color palettes in lib/design/qlooMapping.ts.
Honest Provenance & The Fair-Test Rule
Creative AI applications often obscure what the model decided versus what external intelligence provided. Sonic Architecture enforces complete transparency:
