Abstract
The following text is an attempt to draw attention to the importance of sounds in the perception and construction of our intimate sphere of residence, being an inseparable element of the auditory landscape of the place where we stay temporarily or permanently. My illustrations included in the text are a supplement and my interpretation of the city's audiosphere from the point of view of an artist, interior architect and resident of Krakow, showing the influence of sounds on the perception of the space around us.
According to Heidegger's theory, inhabitation goes beyond the sphere of the object already at the moment of construction. Therefore, the audiosphere of inhabited space should be considered in a broader context, going beyond the walls, i.e. the visible borders of our comfort zone, which is an integral part of the city space. Sounds, just like objects, build up the space around us creating an aural landscape, which we perceive multi-sensorially, usually overlooked by us because it is habituated and we do not think about it every day, but it plays an important role giving our space character, identity of place, and also influences the memory of it. It is an important part of our lives by defining for us our place in the space of the city, the home, the universe.
The role of sounds is of great importance in the world in which man functions. Often tamed, treated as insignificant and invisible, they build us specific places, both those in public space and those closest to man - spaces to live in. They have an enormous impact on the emotions and character of these places and the values associated with them. Thus the auditory sphere of places of habitation - permanent (home and surroundings), and temporary (staying, e.g. at a railway station, in a gallery, park is also an element of inhabiting a given place), creates an important and inseparable element of the soundscape of a given place. It is an important acoustic phenomenon in the experience of that space.
