Soundscape and the Adaptation of Soundscape to Covered Spaces

Megaron, 2011
Soundscape, as urban noise is termed, is essentially a qualitative approach which aims to discover ways to improve the “sonic environment”. A possible analogy can be assumed for the acoustic quality of some types of covered spaces which have a function ...
