Soundscape architecture

Soundscape architecture is the thoughtful design of environments to shape the way sound interacts within a space. It considers both natural sounds (like birds or wind) and human-made sounds (like traffic or conversations) to create a harmonious auditory experience. The goal is to enhance comfort, well-being, and usability by minimizing noise pollution and promoting desirable sounds. This approach integrates acoustic design principles into architecture and urban planning to craft spaces that feel pleasant and restorative, improving the overall quality of life for those who use them.
