Abstract

This research investigates sound and space relationships, discussing concepts referred to the juxtaposition of sonic and physical environments. So, the research approach lies in the discussion of these relationships based on the use of sound interfaces which promote collective listening in public spaces, producing hybrid environments and promoting different apprehensions of space. As it is a multidisciplinary research, the study seeks to approach Architecture, Urbanism and Sound Studies disciplinary fields. Theoretical investigation contextualizes and provides concepts from both disciplinary fields on the role of sound as an element of space. From the developed concepts, readings on sound interventions are made as well as the analysis on the research\'s experiment, which includes the accomplishment of an intervention. The intervention is based on the relocation of a set of trains sounds to a public square, engaging with its context and social and historical dynamics, contributing to the appearance of different interpretation and thinking on the people present. Thus, the importance of the association between practice and theory is reinforced, which is fundamental for researching this subject. (AU)
