The article presents a discussion of the crossroad between art and architecture. It sketches out the theoretical and practical aspects of space revitalisation and improving its quality in the context of multisensory dimension of public spaces. The unique manifestation of art and creativity in public space could be detected and stimulated using participatory architecture, for instance interactive installations, projects related to the convergence of arts, projects and sound installations, as well as spatial sound. The analysis is based on examples of projects combining architecture and art in public space, with special emphasis on sound art, and their consequences for the perception of such a space. Specifically, it aims to understand how designing these spaces strengthen their potential to connect separated city areas, and how it plays a critical role in social integration. This study of the transformative role of architecture and its various consequences is no longer constrained to one field alone. Such research enters into related fields and particularly into the study of art. In this approach sound art plays a vital role. It is important to note that architecture is capable of discovering and portraying synergies between various forms of art. It can reflect the interplay between innovative technologies, architectural projects, landscapes, ecology, urban sociology issues as well as spatial and cultural strategies for urban redevelopment projects.
