Caroline Claus (*1980 - BE) holds a master's degree in sociology at the University of Ghent, and urban development and spatial planning at Erasmus University and VUB. Her work concentrates on issues of space, place and culture, the geography of lifeworlds, sonic experience and the design of urban acoustic environments. In particular, during the A-I-R 2015 summer residency programme, she questions the urban – acoustical aspects in urban development processes in the context of local community of Jazdów district. Acoustic ecology theory and the avant-garde output  of independent electronic record labels provide the conceptual and methodological basis for a trans-disciplinary research on sound and soundscapes. Trough participatory soundwalks and geo-acoustic mapping, she investigates sound’s potential and of all practices sound related, for urban development processes in the area.
