we read about this in a course i took on the anthropology of sound! very good stuff
The building envelope needs to provide adequate shelter - not just from inclement weather but from everything that weathers us, like pollution in any form. Great to point out noise - properly built dwellings needs to be mandated to combat it, like with highest possible STC rated building materials and especially fenestrations on existing structures! Case in point: great architecture isn’t just making it pretty but takes real thought to be apt at safekeeping its inhabitants.
