but this tour took a different approach and went further to claim that this inequity may not be as grand as we all thought - that the soundscapes of each area or arena in the building serve to facilitate a welcoming experience for prospective students. #1102archsound

I was drawn to “Close Your Eyes to See: A Sense of Inclusion” because of its title and I was really impressed by how the tour persuaded me to think highly of the Living Building. I’ve been too focused on the inequity brought by the building’s competing soundscapes #1102archsound

@megssridhar This could be taken into a global context as well. #1102archsound

@megssridhar I felt like that was almost an attack or insight on the lives of some middle/upper-class men in Rio. Like, the rodent man was an established individual - he has money, he's married, has a child - but outside that protective bubble, he lusts for something. #1102archsound

@NaomiLDickerson @WillDickson1102 "Employees who speak sign language" - that's a nice touch.

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

@gbarcellos3 "Rio" felt like a normal story to me. Having read "Crime and Punishment", the "Giver" series, and "Lord of Flies", I felt desensitized to some of the more grubby descriptions of the old man and his interactions with the women. #1102archsound

@katvongrey On a metaphorical note, these disjointed phrases serve to symbolize the main characters' low status on the social hierarchy . Verbal communication is the most common form of communication, so being unable to do that could place you lower than the common man. #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

@katvongrey As was discussed in class, conveying tenses in American sign language is a struggle, so the phrases here could appear disjointed because the interpreter is only absorbing and relaying the information in one tense. #1102archsound

Q11. Poetry has always been a genre focusing on capturing the experience a narrator/character has with a certain event. Nowadays I read that same poetry and attempt to ascertain how aural elements of the piece contribute to that experience. #1102archsound

the christian deity only exists in nature and in the universe. He also claims that in order for one to embrace an existence marked with eternal totality, he/she must first understand and conform with the mechanics of life and the universe. #1102archsound

Q10. So Baruch Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher who claimed that our perceptions of God was just a projection of our imagination. Instead, he posits that "Whatever is, is in God, and nothing can be or be conceived without God" furthering the conversation that #1102archsound

It's interesting how similar the people of Tech and Ngai Tuhoe responded to the construction of the living building(s). Like during its early stages, both groups had populations completely unaware of not only the building's presence, but also its intentions. #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

@RobertF34549102 of a process. Thus, individuals registering for housing should endure similar outcomes - a shared experience - rather than one group living in a dorm infested with roaches and lacking hot showers and another group living in a dorm devoid of those ailments (2/2) #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

@RobertF34549102 Equity in general cannot be associated with GT on-campus living because of the discrepancies between the quality of our dormitories/apartments. You could argue that everyone had an equal chance to commit to Tech "early", but equity refers to the experience... (1/2) #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

@bcohen111 @RobertF34549102 No, dorm signups were arranged in such a way that those who committed to Tech early received earlier dorm selection time tickets. Tech even established this process when admission statuses came out mid-March last year. #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

@AtticusLemahieu I mean, the building was designed to address the needs of the Tuhoe people. Ngai Tuhoe was even given the opportunity to input their desires in regards to the monument's overall construction and utilization. #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

@mnewman_gatech That is typical of popular, on-campus facilities like the library or West Village. When these places are occupied to the brim, the atmosphere often discourages and prevents groups of stakeholders from utilizing the services offered by that space. #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

or would it be an event since the soundscape of the room would be it’s spatial signature in relation to Willage? #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

If the soundscape of a space is the target of a recording, (where the goal is to capture the spectrum of sounds within a space) would the resulting sound recording be considered an intellligible structure? Like if I was the only inhabitant of a study room (1/3) #1102archsound

[Evron Normandeau @EvronNor]

in West Village and the context of my recording would be the silence of the study room in relation to the many soundscapes in Willage, would the recording still be an intelligible structure since I’m recording the intellibility of those intrusive sounds (2/3) #1102archsound
