Summary:
In this publication, Victoria Newhouse addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around? Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snohetta (2008), the Casa da Musica in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

Summary:
In our image-saturated contemporary society, sight often eclipses other senses that are vital to understanding the unseen dynamics of our sensory relationship with environments. As a counter-project to the hegemony of images, the act of listening opens up new possibilities for exploring both built and natural environments and moving our attention to granting a voice to more-than-human agencies. "Ecotones" showcases investigations on the relevance of sound in territorial studies. It is developed as a curated collection of texts from various disciplines and practitioners exploring spaces, territories, and ecologies through sonic endeavors. With a variety of formats, from essays and fiction pieces to situated case studies, Ecotones narrates sound as a medium, the act of listening as a political tool, and sonic experiments.

Summary:
''The political voice'’ is the subject of the second volume of ''Sonic Urbanism'' publications. This volume explores the political voice as a particular sonic phenomenon, asking how and where it is possible to have a '‘voice'’ in urban politics, the relationship between material and metaphorical readings of political speech, and how voices can be amplified or silenced in cities. Responses explored vocal contestations and noisy citizenship, technologies that transmit or transform voices, and the ways that sound art and experimental music stage collective voicings.
