Full description This will be the first major study on Australian sound design of public acoustic space. Sound design is a new interdisciplinary field in which Australia has made pioneering contributions, yet little has been documented. A representative sample of sound designs, both indoor and outdoor will help to establish this national practice. A new acoustic mapping tool will be invented to analyse the designs. Historical and stylistic trends can then be observed. The language and practice of sound design will be articulated in a substantial book profiling the importance of sound to all interdisciplinary designers, museologists, acoustic engineers, landscape designers, architects and musicians.
