Using an interdisciplinary approach, it examines a heterogeneous selection of experimentations from the domains of music, art and architecture. Significant case studies of pieces of music, public art works and scientific research in the field of urban planning are analyzed, investigating the methods that have been adopted and the aural processes that have been generated. It then uses the findings to reconstruct the underlying theories and practices and to show what might be drawn from these procedures appliSoundscapes (Music)History and criticismMusicPhilosophy and aestheticsMusic and architectureCity soundsCity planningElectronic books.Soundscapes (Music)History and criticism.MusicPhilosophy and aesthetics.Music and architecture.City sounds.City planning.711.6780/.071Belgiojoso Ricciarda774402MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464390503321Constructing urban space with sounds and music1929455UNINA
