The goal of this widely used book is to present in a highly
illustrated format the principles of design for good hearing and
freedom from noise in and around buildings. The more than 540
illustrations are not merely supplements to the text as with nearly
all traditional books. In this book, the illustrations are the core
of the coverage of basic principles of sound and hearing, sound
absorption and noise reduction, sound isolation and criteria for
noise, control of HVAC systems noise and vibrations, auditorium
acoustics design, and electronic sound systems. The book is written
for architects, interior designers, engineers, and all others
concerned with the design and construction of buildings who need to
know the basics of architectural acoustics, but who do not have the
time to digest wordy presentations. Designers who understand the
basic principles of acoustics will possess an important new tool
for shaping the built environment. Hopefully, not only better
acoustical environments, but also better buildings should result.
