The course «Landscape Acoustics» covers basic theoretical and technical notions of acoustics as related to outdoor environments. It introduces a holistic sonic landscape understanding combining physical, perceptual, social and ecological knowledge/approaches. Through case studies from different epochs and cultures, the course aims to raise awareness of acoustics as a multifaceted landscape perception and design constituent. An overview of contemporary tools and methods for environmental sound analysis and design and an introduction to the use of the AudioVisual Lab infrastructure provide a basis for students to become actors on acoustic landscape quality.
