Sound-Frameworks: Shane Myrbeck (Arup) - Survey Interview

This is a transcription of a survey interview that took place within the project Sound-Frameworks: Collaborative Frameworks for Integrating Sound Within Urban Design and Planning Processes.

Sound-Frameworks is an action-led research project that explores the role of sound in urban design and city planning. The project is led by the artist and researcher Dr. Sven Anderson and hosted by Theatrum Mundi, a non-profit organisation that expands the craft of city-making through collaboration with artists.

Central to this project is a focus on how urban sonic experience can serve as a driver for design in the public realm. The public realm constitutes the integral connective tissue that defines the contemporary cityscape, within which different individuals, communities and institutions engage with each other through cooperation and conflict. Sound has remained a neglected dimension of this domain, generally coming into consideration only within late stages of design through efforts to ameliorate the impact of environmental noise. As the densification of urban territories accelerates, the role of sonic experience as an essential factor to be addressed by urban designers must be reassessed.

Sound-Frameworks explores new methodologies for integrating sound in urban design through the production of three inter-related resources:

1. A sound in practice survey2. A publication on best practice guidelines in this field3. An online tool to guide the integration of sound in the design of the public realm

Drawing from environmental acoustics, spatial planning, contemporary sound studies, the project initiates a framework to extend regional, national and international objectives for integrated city planning and contribute to public realm initiatives in Europe and beyond.

Sound-Frameworks has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 101032632.

Sound-Frameworks is hosted by Theatrum Mundi (UK) and supported by partnerships with Arup (UK), UrbanIdentity (CH), Struer Kommune (DK), the University of Oxford Faculty of Music (UK) and the Sound Studies Lab at the University of Copenhagen (DK).

本内容为Sound-Frameworks（声音框架）项目中一场调研访谈的转录文本，该项目全称为"Collaborative Frameworks for Integrating Sound Within Urban Design and Planning Processes（城市设计与规划流程中声音整合协作框架）"。

Sound-Frameworks（声音框架）是一项以行动为导向的研究项目，旨在探索声音在城市设计与城市规划中的作用。本项目由艺术家兼研究员斯文·安德森博士（Dr. Sven Anderson）主导，由Theatrum Mundi（世界剧场）承办——该非营利组织通过与艺术家携手合作，拓展城市营造的技艺边界。

本项目的核心议题聚焦于：城市声音体验如何能够成为公共空间设计的驱动要素。公共领域是塑造当代城市景观不可或缺的联结纽带，不同个体、社群与机构在此通过合作与冲突实现互动。长期以来，声音始终是该领域被忽视的维度，通常仅在设计后期才会被纳入考量，用于缓解环境噪声的负面影响。随着城市地域的集约化进程不断加速，城市设计师必须重新审视声音体验作为核心设计要素的重要地位。

Sound-Frameworks（声音框架）通过打造三项相互关联的产出资源，探索声音融入城市设计的全新方法：
1. 实践中的声音调研
2. 本领域最佳实践指南出版物
3. 用于指导公共空间设计中声音整合的在线工具

本项目融合环境声学、空间规划与当代声音研究的理论与方法，旨在构建一套系统性框架，以推进区域、国家及国际层面的整合式城市规划目标，并为欧洲乃至全球的公共空间建设项目提供支撑。

Sound-Frameworks（声音框架）已获得欧盟"地平线2020（Horizon 2020）"研究与创新计划资助，资助依据为玛丽·斯克洛多夫斯卡-居里（Marie Skłodowska-Curie）协议，编号101032632。

本项目由Theatrum Mundi（世界剧场，英国）承办，并得到以下合作方的支持：奥雅纳（Arup，英国）、UrbanIdentity（瑞士）、斯特鲁尔市镇（Struer Kommune，丹麦）、牛津大学音乐学院（英国）以及哥本哈根大学声音研究实验室（丹麦）。
