Editorial: How do you sound design? Articulating experiences and cultures via listening

The Sound-Driven Design track invites researchers and practitioners to delve into the multifaceted nature of sound, unravelling its physical, perceptual, emotional, and socio-technological dimensions, and contribute to the discovery and development of design methods and tools. In the sound-driven perspective, listening emerges as an element that adds depth and richness to the design space, adding to the role of the senses in the experience of the form quality of products, services, and systems. We introduce the papers accepted to the track, as they reflect the holistic and inclusive character of “sound-driven”, combining the diverse sonic, experiential, technical, and cultural manifestations of sound with the creative, integrative, mitiga-tive, and purposeful essence of designing.
