Sounds belong to the City. They determine spaces and identities. For years, artists have been using city noises as a material to stage or to question urban space--new territory, however, for most architects and planners within the routines of functional planning procedures. "Tuned City - Between Sound and Space Speculation" searches for a new evaluation of architectural spaces from the perspective of acoustics. This volume presents various positions of architects, artists and theorists to expand the architectural discourse with the dimension of listening.CONTRIBUTORS: Doris Kleilein and Anne Kockelkorn - Disconnection,                          Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter - Aural Architecture,                          Interview with Gisela Herzog and Gerhard Steinke - Reverberation                          Time, Susanne Hauser - Eye, Ear and Big Cities, Interview                          with Thomas Ankersmit - Resonance Pascal Amphoux and Gregoire                          Chelkoff - How do cities sound?
