It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that the
physicist Wallace Clement Sabine developed his theory of
reverberation, which has remained fundamental to architectural
acoustics to this day, and has subsequently been applied to many
building types, especially those for the performing arts. Yet the
practice of architectural acoustics goes back much further with the
impressive designs of the Greeks proving highly influential. This
comprehensive book explores the development of acoustics in
architectural design from the theatres of Classical Greece, through
the early development of opera houses, concert halls and theatres,
to the research work of Sabine and his successors and its influence
on twentieth- and twenty-first-century buildings. Topics covered
include: the fundamentals of acoustics; the influential legacy of
the Greeks and Romans; the evolving design of opera houses,
theatres and concert halls and, finally, the acoustics of schools,
music schools and recital halls.
