Assignment 1 : Blindfold Walk

Feeling of being very lost during the first part of the experience

In the first five minutes I haven’t mastered the different ways of finding my way around like the listening to the echo when doing some noises

During the second part I was more able to orient myself by learning how to listen and I was more able to find my way

Find it easier to orient in a space when there is constant sources of noises because it define almost material elements and boundaries in the surroundings

Making noise easily helps mentalize volumes, in an inside space the height, depth and width.

In an outside this helps to locate buildings whose facades act as screens.

Assignment 2 : Soundscapes

Ping-Pong : 4-5

Discussions in the surroundings : 6

Planes : 5

Constant sounds

Surrounding discussions are constant and give a background sound level, act like an ambient sound

The sounds of buses and planes intervene at regular intervals with a high sound level
