Sažetak
How do typological urban factors influence the possibility to experience immersive designed soundscape within the urban landscape? Are there similarities in different projects built during last 50 years across the world? Soundscapes in situ can be designed by lowering noise levels and adding new sounds. Several urban open spaces (in Paris, Helsinki, Dordrecht, Berlin, Vienna, Zadar, Miami Beach, New York, Chicago, Melbourne, Sydney and Xi’An for instance) are characterised by designed soundscape elements that have the immersive quality - they offer the ‘surround - sound’ designed experience. This interdisciplinary analysis covers urban (spatial), environmental acoustic (and electroacoustic) and music factors and their influence on each other. Different methods of designing immersive soundscapes within the urban landscape are being analysed using the geospatial data. Methods of achieving designed soundscape span from electroacoustic multichannel soundscape systems to soundscape articulated through mechanical and acoustic qualities of urban design elements such as pavement, vegetation or a built structure designed for a specific waterfront promenade, square, plaza or park. Two general spatial principles are recognised: open and enclosed. The first can feature different levels of integration of soundscape design into urban design, the latter tends to isolate certain places from unwanted factors to a certain degree using strong architectural elements. Analysed spaces are rarely conceived solely to enhance urban soundscape. Designed immersive soundscapes inter-wine contemporary sound art, music and urban design and enrich the urban open spaces giving them the new layer of a landmark quality.
