Soundscape and the Built Environment
Coordonnateurs : Kang Jian, Schulte-Fortkamp Brigitte
Soundscape Basics and Practical Implications
Soundscape research represents a paradigm shift, as it involves human and social sciences and physical measurements to account for the diversity of soundscapes across countries and cultures. Moreover, it treats environmental sounds as a resource rather than a waste.
Soundscape and the Built Environment
- Discusses soundscape and environmental noise
- Explores cultural variations and the way they influence soundscape
- Introduces binaural measurement technology and psychoacoustics
- Examines the physical, psychological, and physiological restorative mechanism of high-quality acoustic environments
- Presents soundscape mapping based on human perception of sound sources
- Includes real-world examples and case studies highlighting the key issues in soundscape intervention

Jian Kang obtained his first degree and MSc from Tsinghua University in Beijing, and his Ph.D from the University of Cambridge. He has been a professor of acoustics at the School of Architecture, University of Sheffield, since 2003. Before joining Sheffield, he worked as a senior research associate at the Martin Centre, University of Cambridge, and as an A. v. Humboldt Fellow at the Fraunhofer Institute of Building Physics in Germany. His main research area is architectural and environmental acoustics. He has published three books, more than 200 refereed journal papers and book chapters, and more than 300 conference papers. He served as chair of the European Committee COST Action TD 082011-201204 "Soundscape of European Cities and Landscapes."
