The introduction of nature into cities is a rapidly growing urban phenomenon. However, this area of design work tends to be visually oriented and rarely considers the role or sound or noise, which is all but ignored in the discussion of urban greening initiatives.
Ambiance theory provides a unique way for artists, designers, and planners to perceive their relationships with the environment by turning their attention to embodiment and environmental affect. By drawing on real world research projects, this book examines the way sound practitioners can use sound and sound art installations to transform ambiance as a means to provide new experiences for the city dweller. The book engages with a range of contemporary discourses across ambiance, atmosphere, affect, embodiment and posthuman theories to provide a fresh take on the possibilities of creating vibrant, restorative, and evocative urban environments.
