Closing the Loop of Sound Evaluation and Design

Objective

Proposal abstract: When designing the sonic aspect of an artefact, the designer wants to be able to explore a variety of what-if possibilities at the phenomenological, experiential, and emotional level. The CLOSED project provides a measurement tool that is capable of analysing sounds in context at the same high level of interpretation used by designers, thus aiming at boosting the emerging discipline of sound design. It is believed that the objective measurement of functional-aesthetic sound qualities of artefacts is the key component that will allow the effective closure of the iterative loop of sound evaluation and design.
