Résumé:

Architects are used to designing visually. To help them expand their basic design tools, this book explores the interactions between sound, space, hearing, and architecture. To this end, the author uses contemporary and historic buildings and projects, but also fictional, philosophical, and theoretical approaches for revealing the auditory within architecture. Sound then becomes not only a source or stimulus, but an instrument of architectural space. By further introducing a meta-theory of critical listening, the author encourages designers to acoustically test their projects with auditory input from the very first stages of the design stage.
