Designing With Your Ears

NeoCon Presentation Description: This session explores the critical role of sound in creating healthy, sustainable, and inspiring built environments. Drawing on research and concepts relating to indoor environmental quality (IEQ), behavioural science, and biophilic design, it examines how acoustic design influences human wellbeing, productivity, and social connection. Attendees will learn how to integrate acoustics seamlessly with aesthetics, leveraging evidence-based approaches and real-world case studies to create spaces that are not only visually striking but also sonically supportive.
