Thirteen findings in ten minutes.

Abstract

Nine architecture students in an architectural acoustics course studied the influence of design on the acoustic response of spaces. Thirteen of their projects will be presented, rapidly, with time to delve into some of them more deeply in response to questions from attendees. Areas of focus include: room shaping and balcony composition; ceiling and canopy height; canopy design; perception and preference of double sloped decays; side wall angle and orientation; room length; very tall ceilings; room width; side wall diffusion; mapping background noise levels; and frequency content of noise.
