Abstract

Celebratory architecture, such as festival pavilions and other temporary event structures, often faces significant electroacoustic challenges, particularly excessive noise and diminished acoustic comfort during cultural events like Sound Horeg. This systematic review examined electroacoustic experimentation in temporary, event-based celebratory architecture to identify adaptive design strategies for sound modulation and improved environmental comfort. Following VOS Viewer guidelines, a comprehensive database search identified relevant studies published between 2014 and 2025 on electroacoustic interventions in celebratory or temporary architectural settings. The review synthesized findings from these studies, highlighting the implementation of advanced electroacoustic technologies (e.g., directional sound systems, active noise control, interactive soundscapes) and the development of modular, adaptive pavilion designs that enable real-time acoustic modulation. Additionally, context-specific strategies for sustainable and culturally sensitive soundscape management were identified, emphasizing noise mitigation, community engagement, and respect for local traditions. Collectively, these findings advance the integration of electroacoustics and architecture by enhancing occupant acoustic comfort in celebratory spaces while preserving cultural values. The insights guide designing sustainable urban celebrations and contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by promoting inclusive, safe, and resilient urban event spaces.
