The above image is a screen shot taken from a dynamic Flash interface that overlays sound information in the form of 10 second recordings onto a map of the entire Kensington market site. The sounds can be accessed randomly as the user moves their mouse around on the map. This analysis is a first attempt in the project to gather and dynamically represent sound data from the site through some kind of responsive interface.
(Images 1 and 2) These images are taken from a topological analysis of the Kensington market Soundscape. A 10x10 meter grid resolution was established over the entire Market and decibel readings were taken for each point at 12:00pm on 3 separate days. The information was then interpolated to produce an Isobel map and a 3D representation of the sound topography. This model begins to suggest topological sound conditions and relationships within the market and was used to help identify potential sites for an architectural intervention. |
