The sonic space can be qualified as a highly relevant layer or dimension to a political notion of public space. The material in use to claim or occupy the sonic space is sound, whose emission or reception by humans largely depends either on biological features or technological resources. Since mostly all humans are provided with equal sonic biological features, it is in the realm of sound technologies where difference appears. Whoever has access to specific sound technologies is able to claim the sonic space in particular ways beyond biological possibilities. If access to sound technologies is restricted, the possibility to claim certain areas of the sonic space will also be restricted. This risks the public and democratic qualities of the sonic space, and leads to its possible partial privatization and control. Artistic production, although far from providing a solution, can play an essential role in addressing this problem. This thesis studies the definitions and connections between public space, sound, technology, anthropology and art. This thesis is produced with the purpose to act as a theoretical framework of the artwork produced by the author in resonance with its claims.

Full textThe particularity and challenge of this research subject lie in the confrontation between the urbanistic vision of the public space, the physical approach to acoustic measurement and the consideration of how the sonic environment is perceived. Several types of public spaces were used to study the assessment of urban sonic ambiances. We problematize our study of the understanding and assessment of sound perception in order to highlight some of its relevant parameters. The methodology was designed to combine perceptive data and physical measurements. The first stage of in situ investigation thus provided a corpus of 174 questionnaires, 513 photographs and 18 non-directive group interviews. Acoustic measurements were then made at the same temporalities. Finally, a second stage of in-depth individual interviews conducted with the 29 participants was completed with the realization of 145 mental mind maps. This multifaceted methodology helped to determine the influence of several parameters such as human presence, nature, the mineral aspect, seasonality and urban forms on the spatial and sonic assessment in public spaces

Full text"Personal Space" examines the influence of M. E. Chevreul's On the Law of Simultaneous Contrast of Colors (1839) on the 1913 work of Robert Delaunay, Femand Leger, and Sonia Delaunay-Terk in order to show that each artist used color theory to develop not only an artistic style, but also a broader metier. That French term encompasses an individual's profession and technical skills as well as the identities, worldviews, and geographic locales associated with it. Michel Foucault's notion of historical problematization provides the framework for understanding how simultaneous contrast could define their art, personae, philosophical stances, and relationship to the urban fabric of Paris. Thus, this dissertation argues that all of these artists used the concept of spatial simultaneous contrast to construct a place for themselves in their intellectual, physical, and social environment. This is in contrast to the more temporal simultaneity of their Cubist and Futurist peers. The text begins with an overview of the problematization of space and time in 1913 Paris and demonstrates how debates about simultaneity could be seen in both works of art and on the streets of the city. The first chapter also shows that Montparnasse houses numerous competing spatial structures in order to explain why these three artists selected it as the home of their metiers. Chapter two argues that Robert Delaunay understood this law of color as a representation of the order of the world by placing his Simultaneous Contrast: Sun and Moon alongside the artist's interest in Baruch Spinoza and his frequent visits to the area surrounding the Paris Observatory, an institution central to the institution of Standard Time. In chapter three, an investigation of Femand Leger's studios is used to explain how his Contrasts of Forms series expresses the artist's identification with heterotopian aspects of the modem built environment. Chapter four contends that Sonia Delaunay-Terk's Simultaneous Dress is the embodiment of her use of simultaneous contrast to manage the competing claims made on her identity, especially those found in the Bal Bullier dancehall.

Full textMore than a century ago, working conditions have evolved under the influence of industrialization and especially of new management methods such as the Taylorism. From Open-Spaces to Action Offices in the 1950s, more than 60 % of the European working population is concerned today. The evolution of regulations, linked to the collective awareness of the psychosomatic effects of noise, has led clients to request the involvement of acoustical consultants for giving recommendations and supervising their implementation in constructions and rehabilitations of office spaces. This is why scientific and industrial stakeholders joined forces for this thesis dedicated to the propagation of sound energy within rooms characterized by one dimension different from the others.The method developed in this thesis reduces the conservation of the energy-stress tensor to a system of coupled equations for the sound intensity and the sound energy density. It is a hyperbolic system of linear, partial differential equations of first order. Integrating this system on one or two space dimensions leads to the introduction of the mean absorption and diffusion coefficients. We then introduce an intensity potential and write the system in the form of a linear hyperbolic equation involving partial derivatives of second order for the energy density, the sound intensity, or the intensity potential in one or two dimensions. We also propose an analytical approximated method to verify the results in one dimension.For the acoustic design of open-space offices, computer modelling is an outstanding tool. Yet limitations restrict its applications. We solve the equations introduced in this work by the finite-difference time-domain method in the one- and two-dimensional cases. We use stable and explicit schemes that require little computer memory. Considering energy variables allows the use of large spatial steps - of the order of the metre - and accelerates the calculations.The industrial partnership notably gave us access to open-space offices. We compare the results of the modelling with in situ measurements carried out with a SoundField ST250 microphone that makes it possible to estimate the sound energy density and the sound intensity

Full textSince 2005, when the inhabitants of the region of Butantã learned that the government was finalizing the draft of a bill which would regulate the Vila Sonia Consortium for Urban Operation, foreseen in the Strategic Master Plan of 2002, conflicts have emerged. For a long period, the inhabitants of this region assembled in associations and representative organizations of residents of the several neighbourhoods which compose the Sub Prefecture of Butantã, such as AMAPAR and the Rede Butantã, and created new movements to both represent them in the public administration and organise the population who still didnt know about the modifications that the OUVCS (Vila Sonia Consortium for Urban Operation) would possibly bring to the region. The conflict was long, resulting in the paralysation of this urban operation. This research has tried to unveil the socio-economic context which gives rise and establish these public policies for the production of the urban space, analysing the reasons which have allowed urban instruments such as this one, alongside the urban operations foreseen in the 2001 Statute of the City, to reach such importance in the metropolis of São Paulo in detriment of other possible instruments, also foreseen in the Statute of the City, which could lessen our socio and spatial inequalities. We have worked on the assumption that such urban instruments have been contributing more markedly to the financial and real estate capital achievements of the urban space as opposed to bringing social and environmental improvements to the population, as it has been heralded in speeches which try to legitimate them. In the specific case of Butantã, we were concerned with understanding the dynamics of the region in the reproduction of the metropolis of São Paulo and analysing both the fighting strategies of the social movements in the region and the strategies and official speeches attempting to implement the OUCVS (Vila Sonia Consortium for Urban Operation), thus paving one more way to the expansion of the real estate sector in the metropolis.
"Dimensional regularity of some sofic affine sets." 2012. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b5549081.
Full textLet T be a linear endomorphism on the 2-torus T² with integer eigenvalues, and D be a natural Markov partition (c.f. Bowen [4]) of T² . Then a subshift of nite type over D corresponds to a T-invariant compact subset K of T². An interesting problem is to determine when the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions of K conincide. Kenyon and Peres [15] showed that this is closely related to the measure-theoretic and topological entropies of (K, T). In this thesis, we further show that the coincidence of dimensions has a deep connection to symbolic dynamics and the asymptotic behaviour of matrix products. Moreover, we develop an algorithm to determine when the spectral radii of arbitrary products of two primitive matrices, with spectral radius 1, are preserved, and apply this algorithm to some sofic self-affine sets considered above.

Full textNo mundo moderno, a música tem vindo a tornar-se numa forma de cultura dominante e popularizada, produzida e reproduzida pelas massas. Parecer que a ideia de uma separação contínua do humano em relação ao ‘não-humano’ criou um espaçamento profundo relativamente à conceptualização de práticas orgânicas e harmoniosas para um desenvolvimento sustentável das esferas económicas, culturais e sociais do nosso mundo. De acordo com uma perspetiva individualista, parece que a ideia de comunidade e elo entre o mundo exterior e o homem caíram no esquecimento. A cultura e as indústrias musicais, impulsionadas por um grande processo tecnológico global, têm permitido uma viagem internacional de som com traços e características de diferentes culturas, rituais e práticas de conceção musical. A música é uma forma de ligação com o mundo. Especificamente, o género musical jazz aborda a mudança nas práticas musicais e performativas, preservando uma conexão com as suas raízes, tradições e rituais. Distingue-se de outros géneros musicais através das suas características instrumentais, diálogos musicais e traços intrínsecos que se referem à sua história e influência sociocultural. Visando uma reconciliação do meio ambiente e da civilização, juntamente com a intersecção do mundo não humano e humano, as esferas física e cultural por intermédio da composição sonora, esta dissertação explora o género musical jazz e suas performances ao vivo num determinado ambiente. Após uma extensa revisão da literária, este trabalho explora os aspetos fundamentais da música, espaço, público, performance e performatividade. O trabalho percorre as sensações e relações que se integram no sistema performativo ecológico. De forma a questionar como o espírito e a sensação de um lugar, por meio de uma abordagem ecológica, afetam a performance de um produto cultural como o jazz ao vivo, e ainda, como isso influencia a performance/atores e o público, o trabalho aborda três blocos principais: a cooperação social na música e sua relação instrumental, a interseção entre ator-performance-público e a inserção da performance num ambiente específico.
