Incomplete City Walk: Sounds of Singapore—Coffee Shops and Hawker Centres

Saturday, 3 December 2016 · 6:30 - 8:00 AM

This walk is developed to explore how a city can be, if experienced outside of one’s routines. When we change environment, the new conditions affect the senses. Through light, sound and scent, our awareness of space changes dramatically. Composer and sound researcher Dr PerMagnus Lindborg will focus on the perception of sound and its design in complex environments and how this extends to all our senses.
