The evolution of the multidisciplinary concept of audience space
Проект Байкал, 2023 In ancient Greece, architects sought to ensure that the sound of the voice reached the viewer’s ears “distinctly and pleasantly”. To do this, they turned to the theory of musical resonances and created a multidisciplinary concept of architecture.

From Architectural Acoustics to Acoustical Architecture Using Computer Simulation [PDF]
Building Acoustics, 2005 Architectural acoustics design has in the past been based on simple design rules. However, with a growing complexity in architectural acoustics and the emergence of room acoustic simulation programmes with considerable potential, it is now possible to subjectively analyse and evaluate acoustic properties prior to the actual construction of a building.

CAD Tools and Computing in Architectural and Urban Acoustics
Buildings, 2021 Contemporary architectural and urban planning aims at optimal development of the environment, including in terms of acoustics. As such, support with computer-aided design (CAD) tools is, nowadays, obligatory. The authors present investigation outcomes of

Architectural acoustical oddities [PDF]
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2014 The quad at James Madison University (Virginia, USA) exhibits an uncommon, but not unique, acoustical oddity called Repetition Pitch. When someone stands at certain places on the quad and makes a punctuated white noise (claps, for example) a most unusual squeak is returned. This phenomenon only occurs at these specific places. A similar effect has been

Acoustical characterization of Taramati Baradari
Proceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUA, 2023 India has a very rich and diverse cultural heritage and when studying from one built form to another, it can be observed that each plan and architectural form has a very close association with the purpose it was built for.

A low-frequency multiple-band sound insulator without blocking ventilation along a pipe
Scientific Reports, 2022 It is challenging to insulate sound transmission in low frequency-bands without blocking the air flow in a pipe. In this work, a small and light membrane-based cubic sound insulator is created to block acoustic waves in multiple low frequency-bands from ...

An Archaeoacoustics Analysis of Cistercian Architecture: The Case of the Beaulieu Abbey
Acoustics, 2021 The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants.
