urban noise is a huge threat for the

urban noise is a huge threat for the future look at how a car honking invades

future look at how a car honking invades

responsive so understanding this we created prototypes which helped us to

created prototypes which helped us to

created prototypes which helped us to understand how human perceive sound the

understand how human perceive sound the

understand how human perceive sound the its objective each one reacts to sound

its objective each one reacts to sound

its objective each one reacts to sound in a different way so we created these

in a different way so we created these

in a different way so we created these models and we tested sound how can sound

models and we tested sound how can sound

models and we tested sound how can sound create architecture and the end result
