Resumo
Sound is one of the most dynamic elements of the public open space
in cities. The perception and understanding of this sonic environment by its users
or society as a whole is commonly referred to as the soundscape. It depends on the
noticeability of the composing sounds; the preference, expectations and beliefs of the
users; and the overall context that is set by the visual environment and the envisaged
use of the space. The local character and the volatility of the soundscape make it
an ideal subject for co-creation involving citizens. Digital technologies are applicable
for audiovisually predicting the impact of design options. Auralisation, either ab initio
or based on multichannel recordings, still involves technological challenges that will
be explored in this chapter. Digital technologies can also be used for adding sound
accents that allow to change the character of the soundscape, e.g. making it livelier
or increasing its mental restoration potential. Such digitally augmented soundscapes
can be the direct result of a co-creation effort with the users of the public open space.
The innovative combination of creating a tailored soundscape and the ability
to achieve this through a co-creation process has a promising potential impact on the
user experience in public open spaces.
