Poro(city) is a project that tackles the problem of noise pollution within cities. Through the understanding of how sound dampening systems can be designed away from the traditional facade or noise barrier, this project looks at a material system that combines layers of different porosity to absorb and reflect sound. Cork, lichen and plywood are studied and combined to create a unit that can be aggregated and suspended in a space to dampen the noise.
PORO(CITY) is a project of IAAC, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia developed in the MAA01 2019/20 by Students: Ines Cavar, Matin Darabi, Hanna Lepperød, Ilaena Mariam Napier and Faculty: Areti Markopoulou, David Andres Leon, Raimund Krenmueller, Nikol Kirova
