This course covers the fundamentals of acoustics and its application to design in the built environment. The format is interactive; lectures have images, video, listening, sound creation, sound visualization and sound measurement. There are two specific assignments, one practical (Boom Box) and one theoretical/practical (Sound Space). There are two field trips, one to experience interesting acoustic environments in New York City, and one to the Arup SoundLab.
We will investigate the relationship between sound and architectural space, encouraging students to think about how different types of buildings sound as well as understanding the impact that sound, noise, and vibration, have on design in the built environment. We will explore the fundamentals of sound and noise: propagation, isolation, control, and mitigation. How to use sound as a positive contributor in architectural design – including room acoustics design theory, the effect of shape, form, geometry and material selection on acoustics. Students will take all the combined knowledge to create the final assignment.
