#1102archsound the vivid descriptions of scenarios in the tours helped me imagine not only what my own experience in the building could be, but also that of other's. I think that's the key to equitable situations -paying attention to the experiences of others relative to your own

@Elizabe63284026 #1102archsound I agree - its difficult to balance being productive with being nice; I've found that although it may come off as a little aggressive, you need to make an effort to have your ideas considered when working in a group.

#1102archsound I'm finding that the most stressful part of the group project so far has been preparing to speak in front of the class... I like researching the material and discussing it, but I hate public speaking!!!

@laneefe #1102archsound
https://t.co/nOieKqb1eG similar to the sound sculpture articles
https://t.co/3zpLlEzhwp Interesting because it answers the question we're all asking - whats even the point of the Kendeda building

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

#1102archsound The VR today was helpful in getting a visual image of the building, but it largely ignored the nuances of the building's potential soundscapes. You hear the same noises throughout the building, always at a low level. Seems like they're ignoring the effects of sound

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@DOmomehin @laneefe @KendedaLBC @GeorgiaTech #1102archsound I agree that this would be a cool addition! It reminds me of the window speakers that were mentioned in class the other day. Both would bring sustainability and the natural environment to the foreground of the area (especially cool bc it wouldn't rely on visual)

@laneefe @KendedaLBC @GeorgiaTech #1102archsound sounds dumb but... there have been studies that have shown music, and specific tones of music, can improve plant growth. What about a structure that uses wind to play those tones? Energy efficient and improves the natural landscape!

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

#1102archsound The ending claim of “Hearing Architecture” reminds me a lot of Cage's 4'33; like Cage's assertion that all noises are music, Rasmussen asserts that all aural architecture is uniquely experienced and cannot be judged.

@Lauren_Zhou @laneefe #1102archsound Its definitely important to consider the viewpoint of this stakeholder, especially if the building plans to be equitable. It sounded like the gt admin didn't like the idea of attracting community members, but they have the same right to be there as students do

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@laneefe #1102archsound I learned the most from the coffee stand barista.. Its easy to forget the people who work in the building, but they have just as much of a stake in it as any of the students. Disturbing sound could negatively impact their work just as much as it could for a student

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

#1102archsound Last semester's sound and equity tours I think could actually be very useful; I don't think it is often that sound is focused on in architecture, especially in sustainable design. What we're doing is significant - contributing something new to the conversation

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@bkoehler176 @laneefe #1102archsound I've been thinking of convo carried through the building as something negative, taking away from the quiet study space. But youre right - buildings can work differently and thats the beauty of them. Ties into the idea that acoustic environments are made of choices

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@laneefe #1102archsound I think a cool soundmark of the building could be the noises of the greenspace that surrounds it; that would tie its acoustic environment into the purpose of the space and block all of the shuffling noises (assuming those window speakers actually work).

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@annabelleboo1 @laneefe #1102archsound disagree with the end of that; colors are incredibly interpretative. When I see lilac, it reminds me of the summer afternoon of my aunt's wedding-oranges, palm trees, excitement, sun. Lilac is connected to a unique memory, when I see it I feel like I'm there again

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

#1102archsound In “Auditory Spatial Awareness”, silence is defined as a choice while Thompson described it as a right. Obviously, there's some overlap, but i think ASA overstates the individual's ability to seek and maintain silence - it is something that many can't choose

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@laneefe #1102archsound Vision can't be objective, as it involves dozens of sensory inputs processed in different ways. Colors are different, beauty, shapes - the memories associated with all off these change what they are to us as individuals w different experiences #thankspsych (2/2)

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@laneefe #1102archsound "hearing tends toward subjectivity, vision tends toward objectivity" Nothing perceptual can be truly objective; our brains collect sensory information, and we all process/perceive it differently - this is subjectivity, our unique info processing methods (1/2)

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

#1102archsound I felt when Thompson wrote that the suburbs created teens left to occupy a "'left-over zone where boredom is rife'." In Roswell, all I got was quiet middle aged people.. funny too, my brother is the "creative" class - a coder who moved to NYC for the art scene

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@Courtne44781882 @laneefe @ProctorCreekATL #1102archsound I agree! I bet that exclusivity will change though if the plans the city has for economic development in the area work. I think the city has to be careful in balancing not only affordability with development, but also with natural sustainability

[Noelle Pickard @PickardNoelle]

@laneefe @ProctorCreekATL #1102archsound as we began the trail, I noticed so much machinery and car noise. As we continued, I was surprised by how quiet the area was - it didn't sound like the city. Also, I don't think it was easily accessible; the marta station was tiny and there was so little parking
