  text: Urban noise pollution is a major environmental health problem. International
    organizations are making efforts to prevent health damage due to high levels of
    noise in cities, but the design of the built environment typically neglects the
    acoustic impact of architectural projects. Building facades, covering a substantial
    part of the vertical surfaces of the urban fabric, have a significant effect on
    the wellbeing of the population and on the environmental impact of buildings.
    Facade geometries and materials interact with the diversity of sounds in the city
    composing soundscapes that influence the health, comfort, and productivity of
    people inside and outside of buildings. This study gives an overview of the elements
    involved in the composition of the urban soundscape and revises the potential
    effects of sound-reflective and sound-absorptive facades. With the purpose of
    exemplifying the integration of acoustic data into facade design processes, a
    parametric design workflow is developed to experiment with acoustic simulations
    of a street environment, alternating between sound-reflective and sound-absorptive
    facades.
