This thesis is an investigation into sound as a medium of design and how it has untapped potential in the design of objects and experiences.
THE PREMISE
The contemporary design world prioritizes on designing products which are limited to our visual agencies, using sound as an augmentation or an afterthought to enhance the user experience. However, augmentation is not enough, consideration from the ground up has potential to disrupt the way we use and interact with products and environments.
THE PROBLEM
Contemporary Soundscapes attempts to instigate change by addressing the root of the problem through interventions that reveal these soundscapes and then takes a natural progression towards using it as a medium of design.
