ABOUT

Caroline Claus is a Brussels-based sound artist and planning researcher working towards an interdisciplinary understanding of how sonic spatial atmospheres inform urban life. Her work analyzes sound as both material presence and cultural code, considering its role in spatial experience and urban transformation.

Through fieldwork, installations, writing, and collaborations with planners, designers, and research labs, she develops listening-based methods to rethink how cities are understood, planned, and lived. Central to her practice is the concept of sonic habitats: urban environments where sound is integral to livability and quality of life.

Caroline holds a dual background in Sociology (UGent) and Urbanism, Spatial Planning, and Design (EhB & VUB, cum laude). She earned her PhD in Architecture from KU Leuven
