Often acoustic space is ignored in the construction of a public space,
yet the negative impact this has does not seem to get many complaints.
People rarely require more quality of the sonic world, because the
average consumer does not have the necessary references to change this
state of affairs. We know that the prevalence of noise or sounds that do
not convey any social significance and are a disturbance of the quality
of life, reduces the ability to identify with the place we inhabit. It
is therefore urgent to think about the acoustical problems societies are
facing today and integrate that thinking in urban planning, architecture
and management of public space, because the idea we have of ourselves,
our personal awareness and the relationships we build in the external
world, are inextricably linked to a space. We all exist somewhere. And
personal identity also relates to this.
Call for papers – main topics
– Sound, place and identity
– Urban planning and architecture
– Policies for noise control
– Urban soundscapes
– Sound and sense of place
– The study of soundscapes as social and political intervention
– Sound communities
– The creation of positive soundscapes
– Sound art as public art
Call for audio works
We invite artists to show sound pieces approaching the subject of “Sound
and Sense of Place”. We are interested in artistic works that raise
awareness to the urban soundscape and that reflect critically on how
cities are growing and being planned around the globe.
