Sound as a mediator of different qualities is not sufficiently taken into account in creative design processes of architectural and urban planning projects today. The currently weak interest among professionals in the architectural and urban planning sector for sound as a bearer of information and meaning, point at an existing challenge of finding new ways of communicating this invisible and transient information to others outside the research sphere. One way of approaching this problem is through the transmittance of qualities of urban space in terms of sound. In my ongoing PhD-work Urban Sound Design - Methods for Qualitative Sound Analysis, I have recently focused on the creation of a digital and interactive model, which enables the cross-reading of visual and sonic material. The intention is to put the finger on some of the acoustic qualities that we can find in everyday urban spaces.
