摘要：Much of human history can be defined by the visual architecture with which we have surrounded ourselves. Those structures reflect what was valued politically, socially, and religiously at the time they were built. However, with these visual structures comes another, sometimes more complex, type of structural design that cannot be seen but instead is heard: aural architecture. In Spaces Speak, Are You Listening?: Experiencing Aural Architecture, Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter outline and explore the history and significance of aural architecture and how it is perceived by humankind. Ambitiously, they weave together an interdisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon of auditory spatial awareness while attempting to appeal to several different audiences throughout.
