  • Instrumental Operations in the Urban Assemblage (2016) author(s): Colin Ripley published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
    Two major developments in architectural thinking of the past decade: an emerging interest in atmospheric design, on the one hand, and developments in responsive architectures, on the other, have produced a fertile ground for responsive acoustic environments. After a brief discussion of recent projects by the author’s research group in which acoustic environments and their human occupants are considered to be components of a single system, the paper speculates regarding the potential impact of such systems on the contemporary urban environment.
