The document summarizes the progression and design of an "Ephemeral Infundibular Auditory Experiment", also known as a "Soundscape", for a site in Petrie Terrace. It describes different soundscape systems designed for specific uses - a tower system, residential system, commercial system, and temporary residential system. The systems aim to block unwanted noise and redirect desirable sounds within the site.

18. The residential system should cater for residents needs such as privacy and existing views. However, it must block most of the unwanted noise coming from Petrie Terraces main arteries. It should capture wanted sound coming from Roma Street Parklands and re-direct it into the SOUNDSCAPE. RESIDENTIAL SOUNDSCAPE SYSTEM
23. The commercial system is intended to transform the unwanted noise into a more pleasant one. Through a system of speakers and micro-phones it would convert all the noise into specific beats There will be spaces within the commercial areas that would also need to use absorptive materials to capture sounds. Since some of these commercial areas have their own car parks and access lanes, the no name system will have openings to allow for these specific areas to be accessed. COMMERCIAL SOUNDSCAPE SYSTEM
31. The temporary residential system will have the same specifications as the residential one, with just a slightly different characteristic: It will be attached to the site TEMPORARY RESIDENTIAL SYSTEM
