Abstract

The conventional architecture workflow tends to—quite literally—“overlook” matters of sound, given that the modeling tools of architectural design are almost exclusively visual in nature. The modeling tools used by architectural acousticians, however, produce visual representations, which are, frankly, less than inspirational for the design process. This project develops a simple scheme to visualize acoustic reflection orders using light rendering in the freely available and widely used Trimble SketchUp 3D modeling software. In addition to allowing architectural designers to visualize acoustic reflections in a familiar modeling environment, this scheme also works easily with complex geometry. The technique and examples will be presented.
