Terminal Landgutstraße (Urfahr)

Acoustically this place acts like a gateway. The terminal
Landgutstraße in Urfahr is practically the same distance away to
the western city limits, as it is to the main square in Linz. A
fact that does make itself noticed through its sounds as well. It
is a meeting place between two worlds, a meeting place between the
masses and the individual. On the one hand the traffic from the
Rudolfstraße, which represents one of the main connections to the
western Mühlviertel via car, is quietly audible in the background,
yet is still omnipresent, as if it were to act as a quasi baseline.
Constantly present, yet always in the background. As between the
terminal and the main through road, the space is taken up almost
exclusively by gardens full of trees from which the songs of birds
add to the acoustic environment. Every now and again, single cars
drive to and from the through way, but mostly do this individually,
making the noise from the traffic very easily identifiable. Every
time the silence is broken you are reminded how quiet and relaxed
this atmosphere actually is.
