What is aural architecture ?
In our techno-visual culture, the ascendancy of vision as the primary means for sensing the physical
world has undermined the importance of hearing. Yet the aural experience of an environment is
critically important to the social and emotional well-being of the inhabitants.Listening has been proved as the highest order among all other senses .You know Why ?
We dont listen only through our ears ,we listen through our whole body _by the vibrations .So a user can perceive a space through listening .
An aural space is thus an area where inhabitants can hear sonic events, and this definition of space is often unrelated to the visual experience.
However, we tend to only
recognize the aural architecture of a space when its hostile and corrosive acoustics transform
background sounds into a deafening roar.
Aural architecture2 refers to the human experience of sound-in-space; the aural architecture of a space modifies the experience of sound sources as well as providing a means for experiencing passive objects and geometries directly.
Aural architecture contains at least five types of spatiality:
navigational,
social,
musical,
aesthetic,
and symbolic.
