| Popis: | Sonic aspects relevant to landscape architects and planners are examined in order to show that soundscapes can be acknowledged and developed as an aesthetic resource for sustainable development. This auditory approach aims at an inter-sensory understanding of human perception and its significance for the design of physical environments. Two settings—a pasture landscape and a city garden—were studied by skilled listeners on site. They contributed to a preliminary terminology for the design of sonic environments, sonotopes. Clarity emerged as one cardinal principle for auditory refuges, and it was found to be related to the balance of particular sonic features and their background sounds. A figure/ground model described these proportions. The distances to sonic events and the tempo of sonotopes defined refuges. Sonic events mirrored the land use and constituted acoustic space according to the distribution of sound sources. Distant sources were suggested as a practical pointer and design tool for overall con... |
