Conference Object Soundscape Evaluation of Urban Interiors by Perceived Restorativeness Soundscape Scale-Prss(INT Inst Acoustics & Vibration, 2025) Dokmeci Yorukoglu, Papatya Nur; Batur, Gulben GizemEnhanced spatial experience should support well-being, decrease users' stress, and foster a healthy connection with their surroundings. This study aims to explore the mental restoration properties and soundscape quality of urban interior spaces by assessing the interaction between auditory and visual perception. A case study was conducted in two selected urban interior spaces, and on-site surveys were administered to 92 randomly selected participants. The findings indicate that individuals in the green-dominant environment rated both the soundscape and visual scenery more favorably than those in the gray-dominant setting. In contrast, participants in the gray-dominant space found the soundscape and visual scenery more disruptive. The study also revealed a strong correlation between audio-visual elements and spatial experience, with participants' perceptions of sound and visuals aligning closely. Additionally, based on the Perceived Restorativeness Soundscape Scale (PRSS), the green-dominant space exhibited higher perceived restorativeness soundscape quality scores than the gray-dominant space.Conference Object Raising Awareness of Acoustics and Soundscaping among Interior Architecture Students and Professionals: A Brief Review and Roadmap(INT Inst Acoustics & Vibration, 2025) Dokmeci Yorukoglu, Papatya NurAcoustics play a vital role in how people experience spaces, yet it is often overlooked in interior architecture education and practice. Many professionals and students focus primarily on visual, technical, and structural elements, missing the impact that sound has on well-being, spatial quality, and experience. This study reviews existing research on the importance of acoustics and soundscaping in interior architecture education and practice, highlighting gaps in awareness and common practice. Based on these insights, a practical roadmap is proposed to better integrate acoustics into education and professional practice. By incorporating sound-conscious design projects in studio environments during undergraduate education and supporting interdisciplinary collaboration with adapting new technologies, this study aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Raising awareness at both the academic and professional levels will help create more acoustically comfortable and enhanced environments that would support user satisfaction and well-being.
