The sensory impressions of the city, country, space and material are primarily visual (via sight) and not enough tactile (via touch) and auditory (via hearing). The two distant senses of "sight" and "hearing" are of great importance for the perception of our environment. These two senses work closely together. Our memory inextricably links experienced sounds with associated, experienced images.
Spatial and material sounds have great potential in urban/rural development and design, architecture and the choice of materials. The city and the space, and thus also the material and the sound, are becoming denser due to population growth. The series of events is intended to sharpen our understanding of acoustic diversity and the acoustic qualities of places and spaces.
