Abstract
Music is managed sound. We compose music by determinating dynamics, timbres, articulations, and as a result, the music can miscellaneously inspire an audience by their differ personal perception. There has no definition of between a good or bad music; it is very personal like the definition of the beauty. From the general sound studies, sound does not have a boundary. Sounds are everywhere, but the people, in general, do not pay attention, especially to the sound which they do not care; the noises, the city melodies, and the silences are present but not recognized in the urban space. One of the first musicians who addressed this issue is a Canadian composer, Murray Schafer. In his book “The Soundscape”, he introduced the concept of SOUNDSCAPE, expressing a new way of listening of our sonic environment, the ever-present array of noises with which we all live. The aim of this thesis is to apply the idea of Soundscape into a spatial design to provide a public space that enhances the metropolitan’s awareness and inspiration. The research starts from the Soundscape explores the relationship between noise and music then analyzing the theories of contemporary composers, musicians, philosophers who got inspired by this idea of Soundscape. The second part focuses on the acoustic properties of materials, analyzing and comparing its physical structure and sound producing potential, in order to understand the possibility of using materials for a landscape design. The last part begins with the design strategies driven by the researches, applies into a landscape design project in Bangkok, the metropolis of Thailand. The site used to be an old boat fixing port at Saphan Taksin area, in the center of a historical area in the city. The project will be turned into a new indeterminacy land of listening, inspiring and deliberating. My scope will focus on analyzing a context sound, designing sound layers, making sound devices, and finally making a sample of a passenger’s sound path to show the user’s experience of sound in the project. Throughout the devices and prepared materials will make a passenger listen, discover new sounds and change the auditory dimension of human experience.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
