Unite the science of sound and the principles of design to enhance
any space Architectural Acoustics Illustrated translates the
quantitative and qualitative content of acoustics into the graphic
language of architecture. This highly-visual guide includes over
350 illustrations that outline the physics of sound and the best
design practices for limiting or mitigating noise in buildings by
using the latest in materials and techniques. Each chapter includes
a summary checklist of design guidelines to help prevent mistakes
and oversights, and the Instructor's website offers video
animations demonstrating acoustical concepts. Designed as a "first
look" at the interaction of sound and space, the book explains the
principles of architectural acoustics and their practical
applications, providing a comprehensive guide for designing with
acoustics in mind. Architectural acoustics is more than just
concert halls it may determine building placement, division of
interior space, exterior construction, and even siting. When
addressed early in the design process, the resulting space can be
free of unwanted sound and promote good hearing; if left
unaddressed, the problems with the space can lead to lawsuits and
costly post-construction remediation. Architectural Acoustics
Illustrated helps designers solve most acoustical problems in
advance, by enabling readers to: * Understand the physical science
underlying the behavior of sound * Consider the interactions of
sound and space in the initial design approach * Mitigate building
sounds such as those produced by HVAC and plumbing with early
design planning * Design spaces for listening, and incorporate
acoustics best practices into every plan The highly visual format
of the book helps readers grasp complex concepts quickly, and
thorough discussion of each concept's real-world application ties
the science directly into the design process. All design
professionals need to have a fundamental understanding of
acoustics, and Architectural Acoustics Illustrated is a
comprehensive, practical guide in an easy-to-read format.
