Abstract

This research focuses on aircraft noise exposed urban spaces around Amsterdam Schiphol airport. In particular, a case site in Rijsenhout is studied, where a representation of the noise wave propagation due to refraction is performed. Subsequently, a series of landscape configurations regarding geometry are gradually tested through acoustic simulation and noise maps are imported inside a parametric design environment. Finally, a conceptual design proposal is structured in order to explore the potential of such configurations in the urban environment.
