In the framework of the Az W focus on the “MQ Summer of Sound” Peter Androsch, composer, sound researcher and the founder of Hörstadt (laboratory for acoustics, space and society) brings visitors to three examples of architecture worth hearing in Vienna. This tour helps explain Androsch’s call for a more humane design of the acoustic environment and for a new discipline, acoustic spatial planning.

– Low reflection space and echo space, TGM Research Institute, Acoustics and Building Physics Department

– Apartment building on Universumstraße, Querkraft Architekten
