Abstract
This paper is based on research that explores the intersecting streams of aural and visual perception in multi-principle artworks. Using computer generated systems of sound visualization this research will result in a new architectural design environment. In future research this will be applied to develop a use for the now abandoned space of the Kimpo airport terminal, Korea, that will mitigate negative community response to airport noise. Part One will review how one of the most significant streams in contemporary art explores the nature of found sound in everyday contexts. The scientists, digital artists, sound artists and architects who I have chosen for the case studies propose that we need to examine how sound and noise can be transformed into other positive meanings as aesthetic design elements. In extending the visualizing sound experiments from various fields, the physical sound phenomena will be visually demonstrated. In Part Two, innovative design experiments of seeing sound will be developed by using digital design processes that will translate them into a dynamic and abstract architectural form that is a visual translation of sound. This demonstration provides the framework on which subsequent research for visualizing sound will be based.
