Écoutez Catherine Guastavino et Romain Dumoulin nous parler du projet de recherche Ville sonore (Sounds in the City) dans une entrevue réalisée à l’émission Les Années lumières de Radio-Canada durant le 85ème congrès de l’Association francophone pour le savoir (ACFAS).
by Christopher Trudeau
In the context of the 85th ACFAS conference (Association francophone pour le savoir) held at McGill University, our research group presented Sounds in the City: toward an acoustic urban design on May 10, 2017, during the Science-me event held for the general public.
More than just an introduction to the concept of the urban soundscape, this was an opportunity to show a wider audience two ongoing projects.
Notre collaborateur Romain Dumoulin a récemment été de passage à Radio-Canada pour discuter de l’impact de l’hiver sur le paysage sonore de Montréal.

Sounds in the City: Are you listening to the world around you?
a summary of our November, 2016 workshop written by team members Daniel Steele and Christine Kerrigan.
Special thanks to all of our workshop organizers: Catherine Guastavino (principal investigator, McGill University), Romain Dumoulin (acoustician and demo lead), Kaisa Tikkanen (Goethe-Institut Montréal), Marthe Boucher (City of Montréal).
We wish to thank the City of Montréal, Goethe-Institut Montréal, IPLAI, CIRMMT, McGill Innovation Week, and McGill’s Dean of Arts for their support in our workshop.
This is a guest post by Dr Jochen Steffens, Postdoctoral Researcher from the Technical University of Berlin, Germany.
I was pleased to accept an invitation from Sounds in the City to speak at their workshop on the potential of water sounds to improve soundscape quality in urban environments. In particular, I was excited to interact with practitioners who might have the potential and creativity to immediately realize some of my ideas based on my research with water features in the urban context.
