A room's acoustic character seems at once the most technical and the most mystical of concerns. Since the early Enlightenment, European architects have systematically endeavored to represent and control the propagation of sound in large interior spaces. Their work has been informed by the science of sound but has also been entangled with debates on style, visualization techniques, performance practices, and the expansion of the listening public. Echo's Chambers explores how architectural experimentation from the seventeenth through the mid-twentieth centuries laid the groundwork for concepts of acoustic space that are widely embraced in contemporary culture. It focuses on the role of echo and reverberation in the architecture of Pierre Patte, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, Carl Ferdinand Langhans, and Le Corbusier, as well as the influential acoustic ideas of Athanasius Kircher, Richard Wagner, and Marshall McLuhan. Drawing on interdisciplinary theories of media and auditory culture, Joseph L. Clarke reveals how architecture has impacted the ways we continue to listen to, talk about, and creatively manipulate sound in the physical environment.

Welche Geräusche prägten einst den Alltag der Großstadt? Wie wurde die zunehmende Vielfalt der urbanen Lautsphäre von den Menschen wahrgenommen und beurteilt? Am Beispiel der Stadt Wien wird erstmals die auditive Kultur einer der wichtigsten europäischen Metropolen der Zeit um 1900 vorgestellt. Im Zentrum steht jene historische Periode, in der Wien sich zur modernen Großstadt entwickelte. Die ungeheure Dynamik dieser Zeit veränderte nicht nur das Stadtbild nachhaltig, sie ließ auch eine neuen Hör-Diskurs entstehen. Immer intensiver wandte sich die öffentliche und private Aufmerksamkeit dem Lärm zu. Und dies durchaus mit Ambivalenz. Denn der Lärm stellt sich als komplexes Phänomen dar, an dem -- paradigmatisch und bis heute -- Fragen der Stadtentwicklung, der Kultur- und Zivilisationskritik, aber auch ökonomische Konflikte abgehandelt werden.
