[AUDITORY] Symposium on Sound-driven design: Sounding objects for societal impact (bis)

[Nicolas Misdariis <Nicolas.Misdariis@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Auditory-list members,

a quick pre-summer reminder about the « sound-driven design » symposium we're organising

at Ircam's STMS lab on 11-12 Sept. which, in a nutshell, aim to get design and sound design

thinking together and talking to each other.

More details on the programme and/or the link in the initial message below

Dear Community,

DRS SIG Sound-driven Design has organized a two-day symposium (September 11 - 12, IRCAM, Paris) dedicated to exploring how sound can inform and transform design practices for societal good. Sound is a vital yet often overlooked dimension of our interactions with the world. It plays a key role in shaping human experiences, environmental awareness, and social cohesion. It influences human perception, urban and ecological systems, and cultural practices – yet it currently remains a gap in how sound is considered and integrated.

This symposium aims to bridge that gap through a multidisciplinary research dialogue, bringing together the sound and design research communities. We will investigate how systemic approaches to sound-driven design can help address the ways in which society influences and is influenced by sound.

Focus & Themes

This research-focused event will bring together experts in design and sound to explore how systemic approaches to sound-driven design can support societal transformation, through three main thematic sessions. 

Each session will feature paired lectures and dialogues from design and sound experts, followed by facilitated thematic focus groups. Outcomes from these discussions will be considered for publication in the DRS Digital Library.
