Sounds belong to the City. They determine spaces and identities. For years, artists have been using city noises as a material to stage or to question urban space–new territory, however, for most architects and planners within the routines of functional planning procedures. “Tuned City – Between Sound and Space Speculation” searches for a new evaluation of architectural spaces from the perspective of acoustics. This volume presents various positions of architects, artists and theorists to expand the architectural discourse with the dimension of listening.
