Teimu (The Garden of Dreams): aural and aesthetic attributes of Japanese gardens as models for spatial environments

日本传统园林设计对20世纪西方园林设计师和西方艺术音乐作曲家都产生了很大的影响。 通过调查五个著名的日本花园的听觉和美学属性，RMIT和墨尔本大学的研究人员将寻找空间声音设计，可以提高城市环境中的声音质量，并为建筑建模和建筑环境提供开创性的方法。 该项目具有长期的跨学科影响。该项目中包含的结果和方法可能有助于新媒体应用的创新声音设计，城市地区更好的收听环境，数据建模的独特方法，以及未来设计策略的催化剂。

Traditional Japanese garden design has greatly influenced both 20C Western landscape designers and composers of Western art music. By investigating the aural and aesthetic attributes of five renowned Japanese gardens, RMIT and University of Melbourne researchers will seek out spatial sound designs that could enhance sound quality in urban environments and provide a pioneering approach to architectural modeling and the built environment. This project has long-term cross-disciplinary implications. The results and methods contained in this project may assist in innovative sound design for new media applications, better listening environments in urban areas, unique approaches for data modeling, and a catalyst for future design strategies.
