Abstract
The acoustic success of music teaching studios is largely dependent on their sound isolation from others. Often these spaces are aligned along exterior walls for natural light and there is an architectural desire to connect them together with lightweight glass curtainwall systems. Sound transfer which flanks through shared curtainwalls and bypasses primary demising construction is a well-documented issue. During the design of the Tianjin Juilliard School in China, Jaffe Holden evaluated options to improve sound isolation for this condition while maintaining the continuous curtainwall aesthetic. This paper discuss the design considerations and the custom sound isolation tests that were performed to analyze and address this issue.
