Auditorium Acoustics and Architectural Design

Abstract

The effectiveness of the acoustic treatment in any auditorium or a performing space has a direct impact on how clearly people can communicate and perform there. This quality is defined by several characteristics in Acoustical architecture. This research seeks to clarify the acoustical phenomena and defects that provide the basis for acoustical designing and material choice. The paper includes fundamental guidelines and methods for planning auditorium acoustics, as well as fundamental criteria for material selection in relation to the NRC values needed in a space. Overall, this research emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach to auditorium design that considers both acoustic and architectural design elements to create optimal auditory experiences for the audience.
