| Summary: | The expansive areas around large airports, affected by noise, infrastructure and transient forms of architecture, have until now not been researched as a phenomenon. But these noise landscapes are emerging worldwide, often surpassing the neighboring city in size, and sometimes rivalling it in economic importance. On the basis of eight European case studies (Amsterdam, Zurich, London-Heathrow, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid and the two Paris airports), this book provides the first account of how these landscapes emerged as the result of technical determinations, what is taking place in them and how they can be interpreted. |
