Abstract
The human experience is not purely based on visual relationships. In today’s built environment, sound has become a secondary concern to visual perception. We experience noise in various environments that may or may not be enjoyable to the sense. Health and productivity can be affected negatively if noise is not addressed during the design process. This thesis will explore architectural environments through a sonic experience. As well as studying the effect that sound has on the health and well-being of humans. This document will begin with research that introduces the terminology and ideas related to acoustics. Additional studies will be done to examine how sounds react to architectural forms and materials. Lastly, this thesis will introduce a design for a sonic pavilion that aims to create an environment that will heighten visitors’ awareness of sound.
