Experiments with the soundscape concept in the architectural design process with the deconstruction of a studio design process can create new opportunities for progressive design solutions. Changing perception priorities (by preferring audial perception to visual) canlead to new possibilities to form new ways of thinking and making connections about design. In 2015 during the fall semester in the Department of Architecture at Anadolu University, the Architectural Design Studio V course experimented this approach and process. In a group of twenty-two students, we gave fifteen minutes long, on-site binaural sound recordings, which are documenting six different soundscapes of pre-determined urban spaces as the sole and primary design data. We expect from students to repeatedly and attentively listen to these recordings then make inferences about topography, density of built environment, climatic conditions, demographic and socio-economic structure of the inhabitants, and period of time. Afterwards, they worked on defining the main design problem for their urban setting, which they only heard, and then create. By proposing this architectural studio education trial, we investigate new ways of studio and design processes, based on one of the fundamental immaterial architectural elements - sound.
