Abstract

The subjective success of the isolation of exterior noise depends greatly on the nature of the site noise, the use of the isolated space, and the client’s expectations. The architectural solution must respond to all of these factors, as well as budget and aesthetics. In recent years, Kirkegaard has completed several projects in which glazed walls separate a performance or rehearsal space from an urban or suburban exterior. Solutions have ranged from simple to “heavy-handed,” with a varying degree of subjective success. This paper offers a range of case studies, including situations where a significant retreat from “heavy-handed” solutions was subjectively successful and one situation where a modest retreat from “heavy-handed” solutions was not subjectively successful.
