The Power of Silence: Why You Need Less Noise for Work and Your Health

Shhh. Hear that?No? That's surprising. Odds are, you can hear something right now: A siren, the hum of a fan, the blur of background conversations, the ticking of a watch. It's seldom our worlds are fully silent-so seldom that complete silence feels shocking.We welcome sound...

Noise is bad for health

It increases blood pressure, increases stress, disturbs our sleep.

Sound and the city

Deep dives on cities, architecture, design, real estate, and urban planning. In London's Kew Gardens grows the Encephalartos woodii -a cycad brought from South Africa in 1899.

Effect Of Noise on Children

According to the United Nations, about two-thirds of the world's population will be living in cities by the next 30 years.
The World Health Organization recommends classrooms to be not louder than 35 decibels, which is never the case in big cities.
Children are facing disruption in their learning, and research points out that those who study in a noisy place are 11 months behind the ones who are studying in quieter places in the same vicinity.
