The methodology can be applied at any given path of an urban network to generate its acoustical representation with sounds produced by appropriately chosen musical instruments. The objective is twofold. On the one hand it targets the amelioration of the urban experience of people with impaired vision while on the other it offers a more synaesthetic spatial perception to all those who rely mostly on their retinal understanding of the environment. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/XV SIGraDi Conference "Augmented Culture"Translating Urban Environment to Music.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2015-11-17application/pdf117.6 kBfree Parthenios Panagiotis Παρθενιος Παναγιωτης Liapi Marianthi Λιαπη Μαριανθη Tomara Agathi-Stavroula Τομαρα Αγαθη-Σταυρουλα
