| With the development of urban and architectural design, people tend to focus on shaping the image space but ignore the demand of auditory sensory. Based on the sound landscape design of Haihe river coastwise area, this paper explores the soundscape design process model and the final expression method, and make a new direction of thinking the sound scape development.First, this article summarizes the development of soundscape research in domestic and foreign content, discussed the scope and purpose of soundscape, and identified the research direction in accordance with the current shortcomings of soundscape design and expression method.Second, by physical measurement, social surveys and fixed location sampling, acoustical environmental investigation of Haihe coastwise area was carried out in four seasons. The data including sound pressure level, characteristics of visitors, people's preference of each sound element, and the correlation of sound elements with overall environment and subjective evaluation and expectation of sound environment in this area was tried to be analyzed though the SPSS statistical software in order to explore the general acoustical situation in this area. In addition, through this survey, the road traffic noise and the construction noise were identified as dominant sound elements of Jinwan square.Finally, against the acoustic environment problems surveyed in the area and learning from Kevin Lynch's―Image of the City‖, the paper proposed the―cognitive map‖concept to show the sound state of environment, and expressed some basic features of Jinwan Square. Based on preliminary findings and the summary of the sound environment, the paper did some specific soundscape design, and made two expressions, including flat expression and multimedia expression. By comparing experiments, it was found that multimedia presentation was more easily accepted than the flat. On this basis, the paper summed up a soundscape design model according to the Jinwan Square's design procession.The main innovation of this paper was the research of soundscape design process and expression of soundscape design. For a long time, the soundscape for the general public was an unfamiliar area, which also affects its own development. But the soundscape was inseparable from some other areas, involving urban planning, architectural design, landscape design, psychology and sociology. Thus, a platform for mass communication was very necessary. Based on it, this paper proposed―cognitive map‖concept and two expressions of soundscape, which is the way to initiate studies for proposing the new direction of soundscape design. The investigation of soundscape design process and pattern also provided a scientific model for soundscape design. |
