Description: Architectural acoustics comprises four areas of study: room acoustics, sound insulation, mechanical systems noise and vibration control and reinforcement. This course concentrates on room acoustics and explains the basic acoustical principles beginning with practical definitions of industry-wise acoustical terms. This view of the essentials necessary to architectural design of acoustically sensitive spaces focuses on questions like what acoustical factors should be considered when designing a space and how to specify the correct acoustical ceiling system for your design needs which may vary from space to space. During this course students will learn how to create a space that takes a space that takes acoustics into consideration, what products to use, when and where to use them. Technical knowledge will be supported by the field studies (tours to the important halls in Houston will be arranged).
