Translating acoustics into architecture
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008Ever since Wallace Clement Sabine's first presentation to the American Institute of Architects in 1898, a substantial gap has often existed between available information on building acoustics and its successful application to the design of buildings.

Electro-acoustic architecture: Is it Green?
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010Electro-acoustic architecture systems offer a means of changing the acoustic properties of a room electronically. They are an alternative to physically variable acoustics, where acoustic properties are changed by retractable curtains and doors opening to reverberant chambers, etc. This paper will address the question of whether electro-acoustic systems

Architectural Acoustics for Practitioners
2010While much ink has been spilled over the benefits of intelligent models, information flow in the design process and the authoring of data sets there has been, in our opinion, little impact on the day-to-day practice of most architects. This paper discusses work by a team of graduate researchers to develop acoustic software tools that embody engineering

Education in architectural acoustics
Applied Acoustics, 1968Abstract The need for education in architectural acoustics is seen to comprise two main areas; the first is education for students of architecture, the second, education for those wishing to specialise as architectural acoustics consultants, or as researchers in the field of acoustics in building.

A musical history of architectural acoustics.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996A brief multimedia presentation explaining the mutual developments of acoustics, music, and architecture was developed to illustrate the relations among art, science, culture, and music in the evolution of western architecture. Throughout much of the history of the western world there has been a clearly discernible connection between the development of

Applying Lindsay’s acoustical wheel to architectural acoustics.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009The acoustic design of performance spaces has advanced over the decades due to the influence of many acoustics disciplines. Psychological acoustics research has helped establish criteria, allowing acousticians to fashion designs which satisfy listeners.

The present state of architectural acoustics
British Journal of Applied Physics, 1963The problem at the moment is to combat the increased level of noise resulting from increased urbanization using modern methods of construction, usually less effective insulators than traditional ones. Statutory standards of sound insulation for dwellings are under consideration and the Wilson Committee recommend financial aid.

Acoustics curriculum for architectural engineers
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2006As building design and technology increase in complexity, the need to consider acoustics in the design also increases. For decades, architects have relied on engineers for the design of structural, mechanical, electrical, and lighting systems of buildings, and are increasingly relying on engineers for the design of high-efficiency building enclosures ...

Spreading acoustics to architecture programs
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017Environmental Technology is one of the important core courses in an architecture program. It provides architectural students with basic physical principles in thermodynamics, acoustics, lighting, and indoor air quality and architectural design factors that affect those environmental qualities.
