Giardino Sonoro team designed an urban sonic garden in Paris for the Nuite Blanche 2006. The project was so integrated in the daily life of the Marais neighborhood that took 2 more days before we could break it down. Such a pity, expressed by the thousands of people visiting the installation during 3 intense days. The shape of the garden was influencing the sound space design. Following the concentrical design of the site, we opted for a sound core, happening around the female statue in the center of the garden, surrounding it with vertical sound emitters (the leaves), and then expanding the soundscape to a sound suspended circle (Dolphins), plus arranging next to the benches – where mainly visitors seat to read and play with children – dedicated visual (the video-marble module) and sound objects (Spheres and Big Yoyos) in order to delimit these daily micro systems.
