It is intriguing to me that from a deaf point of view that language and sound is communicated at multiple scales.  These scales range from the smallest of finger movements or the slight movement of the lip line to the larger movements that are choreographed within the environment on a daily basis.  To reach back and remember a quote taken from David Wright's DEAFNESS: An Autobiography we, referring to non-deaf people, can easily immerse ourselves in the deaf experience by understanding the sensorial shift experienced when one person's sense of hearing is hindered.  In Wright's writing we are provided with an explanation that something as simple as a subtle breeze that disrupts a once static setting allows a deaf person to interpretate sight as sound.  As the breeze moves it gathers leaves and disrupts the daily activities of the forest creatures exposing a world of noise as a world of movement and particpatory interaction.  Froma conceptual standpoint i am extremely interested by the notion that Architecture, yes with a capital A, has the ability to become the catalyst for this type of seeing enviroment.
