Abstract
The Concertgebouw, Amsterdam is a unique one of its kind because of the extra width and size for a classical rectangular hall and the significant portion of seats behind the stage. These characteristics make the hall as “semi-surround” as the vineyard halls of the present day. Computer simulation was performed to analyze the possibility of deriving design variations out of the Concertgebouw. Clarity, strength, sectional balance, and stage support of various settings of stage position and overall proportion were compared as the first step. Variations that contain the geometrical features of vineyard shape halls were further developed to optimize the three acoustical qualities and to reduce the differences among seats. The architectural features evaluated included surface treatments, arrangement of individual seating blocks, and the geometry of upper walls and the ceiling.
