Sonic urban furniture for vulnerabilities – experimental workshop in architectural design
Résumé
This publication presents the results, the processes and the methodology of a winter school workshop held between the National School of Architecture of Grenoble in France and the Department of Architecture of the University of Thessaly in Greece in January 2022. The workshop addressed the issues of sound, vulnerability and user exclusion and was aimed at participants with no particular background such as acousticians or audiologists. After three days of lecture sessions on the issues associated with waiting spaces, vulnerability and sound diffusion and propagation in space and materials, participants were invited to explore the production of spatial objects at the scale of the human body. The aim of the workshop was to design and build urban street furniture, on a one-to-one (1:1) scale, to communicate and express emotions with the user through the production of vibrations and/or sound and the passive acoustic qualities it creates, but at the same time be accessible by all users. The methodology of the workshop was based on theories of acoustics, ambiances, architecture and prototyping. Applying research by design methodology the participation team finalized and developed a final model that will be able to be built on a physical scale, namely that of the human body in movement.
