  text: 'As cities continue to expand and densify, understanding how buildings affect
    people’s perception and experience of the acoustic environment in context becomes
    more relevant. This paper presents a conceptual framework of the influence of
    façades on the urban soundscape, based on the ISO 12913 series, in order to analyze
    the three main elements of the soundscape: people, acoustic environment and context,
    along with façade as a fourth element. The methodology included literature review,
    as well as an exploration of the ISO 12913 methods for soundscape assessment via
    soundwalks and laboratory experiments involving a total of forty-three (n = 43)
    participants. The results provide a promising framework for façade analysis to
    progress toward the integration of human-centered approaches into the field of
    façade acoustics and complement current building physics practice.'
