Abstract

We consider the acoustics of the architectural design of Mexico City's Cathedral. Using measurements of the impulse response of the building and a virtual reconstruction of the architectural space, the reconstruction of the soundscape is developed with statistical and geometric methods and a standard computational platform (EASE). This reconstruction and contrast of experimental and simulated results allow to pose meaningful hypotheses related to the acoustical functionality of this temple, which played and continues to play a significant role in the religious and social activities of the country. We also present possible connections with other architectural, historical, and musicological aspects.
