Ten questions concerning Architectural Acoustics

Building and Environment
Building and room acoustics are relatively modern architectural and engineering disciplines. Nevertheless, acoustics was also a concern for buildings in the past, e.g., in theatres in ancient Greece and in Roman times. Nowadays, we spend 80–90 % of our time indoors, and sound impacts our communication and actions in an environment to a great extent ...

Caustics Formation by a Spherical Reflector – Geometric and Wave Field Analysis with Applications in Room Acoustics and Radio Astronomy

Engineering Transactions
Based on the principles of geometrical optics, an analytical description of caustics generated in a spherical mirror is presented. The formation of caustics in a wave field is studied using acoustic and electromagnetic waves as an example.

Modeling Bloch Waves in Prestressed Phononic Crystal Plates

Frontiers in Materials, 2019
The study aims at investigating the effect of a generic state of prestress on the passbands and bandgaps of a phononic crystal plate. To this end, an Updated Lagrangian scheme is developed, consisting in a two-step procedure: first, a static ...

Acustica e tipologia in architettura - Acoustics and typology in architecture

Rivista Italiana di Acustica, 2017
L’articolo pone in relazione l’acustica e la matrice tipologica dell’architettura. Nonostante spesso si sostenga che la forma degli ambienti dedicati all’ascolto nasca come risposta a determinati requisiti acustici, la riflessione porta a concludere che ...

Edifying the body while building the edifice [PDF]

, 1981
To help congregations more fully address the interface between confessional/theological self-understanding and building programs, a framework is developed that identifies three foci of concern.
