Abstract:
Architectural acoustics design has in the past been based on simple design rules. However, with a growing complexity in architectural acoustics and the emergence of room acoustic simulation programmes with considerable potential, it is now possible to subjectively analyse and evaluate acoustic properties prior to the actual construction of a building. With the right tools applied, acoustic design can become an integral part of the architectural design process. The aim of this paper is to investigate the field of application that an acoustic simulation programme can have during an architectural acoustic design process and to set up a strategy to develop future programmes. The emphasis is put on the first three out of four phases in the working process of the architect and a case study is carried out in which each phase is represented by typical results – as exemplified with reference to the design of Bagsvaerd Church by Jørn Utzon. The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the programme in each phase compared to the works of architects not using acoustic simulation programmes. The conclusion of the paper points towards the need to apply the acoustic simulation programmes to the first phases in the architectural process and set out a reverse strategy for simulation programmes to do so – from developing acoustics from given spaces to developing spaces from given acoustics.

Abstract:
Abstract This article describes Virginia Woolf's preoccupation with acoustics and its relationship both to her writing process and to the development of sensibility that she narrativizes in The Waves. It situates Woolf's theoretical and fictional models of listening with respect to the rising science of architectural acoustics and to the social imperative to control sound in urban spaces. It argues that Woolf responds to the psychological and social exigencies of modern sound by integrating textual and architectural listening modes in an acoustic hermeneutic: a listening practice common to the objects of architecture and text, one that accommodates both scientific and aesthetic ends. The acoustic hermeneutic marks the convergence of oft-estranged listening practices—one that apprehends the silent materiality of the text as if it were an audible room and, conversely, one that apprehends architecture with the auditory imagination traditionally exerted toward literature. While the article explores Woolf's particular invocations of auditory science in her formal innovation, it also aims toward a widely applicable critical approach to the inaudibilities of the novel.

Abstract:
Concert halls are designed for attentively listening to music. To guarantee that the listening experience mediated by these buildings is acoustically correct, architects rely upon math- ematical formulas to measure and predict how a building will sound. Armed with these formulas, they are able to experiment with unconventional concert hall designs without compromising the acoustics. The achievements of modern architectural acoustics are a valorisa- tion of the mathematical formulas used to predict acoustics. Indeed, the development of a predictive theory of architectural acoustics by Wallace Sabine in 1900 has been celebrated as the beginning of a new era of understanding sound and acoustic design. However, overlooked in this scientific triumphalism are the aesthetic standards that shape the acoustic design of buildings for music. Sabine’s formula transformed our understanding of how music behaves in an enclosed space, but it did not change our understanding of how music should sound in these spaces. In this paper I explore these points through a history of the acoustic design of Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, which opened in 1888. Through an examination of the history of the acoustic design of the Concertgebouw, I describe the process of acoustic design prior to Sabine as a process of aural imitation. With this concept I reconceptualise the history of acoustic architecture to better recognise, first, how Sabine’s theory is simply a more effective form of aural imitation, and second, how the quantification of sound has led to a subjective idea of good sound becoming fixed as an objective measure of what good sound should be.

Abstract:
The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants. The presented study focused on an archaeoacacoustics analysis of the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey (Hampshire, England, UK), using Geometrical Acoustics (GA) to recreate and investigate the acoustical properties of the original structure. To construct an acoustic model of the Abbey, the building’s dimensions and layout were retrieved from published archaeology research and comparison with equivalent structures. Absorption and scattering coefficients were assigned to emulate the original room surface materials’ acoustics properties. CATT-Acoustics was then used to perform the acoustics analysis of the simplified building structure. Shorter reverberation time (RTs) was generally observed at higher frequencies for all the simulated scenarios. Low speech intelligibility index (STI) and speech clarity (C50) values were observed across Abbey’s nave section. Despite limitations given by the impossibility to calibrate the model according to in situ measurements conducted in the original structure, the simulated acoustics performance suggested how the Abbey could have been designed to promote sacral music and chants, rather than preserve high speech intelligibility.

Abstract:
Le Corbusier's later theory and production were largely informed by two important considerations: his idea of "ineffable space" (l'espace indicible), and his singular conception of "acoustics," which he apparently used as a troping or analogical tool in his design method. Le Corbusier was to describe the chapel at Ronchamp (1950-1954), for example, as a building that employed an "acoustic component in the domain of form," and suggested that the project began by taking into account "the acoustic of the landscape." The sources of this cryptic appeal to "acoustics" can be identified with some precision. Its initial possibilities were discovered during Le Corbusier's youthful visit to the Acropolis. During his Purist period the same conceit, now transmuted into a trope of "radiation," was applied to the way works of art interacted with their architectural surroundings. The acoustical analogy, drawing parallels between the emission of sound, light, and psychic energy, was fully established in his competition entry for the League of Nations Headquarters of 1927, a project examined here in some depth. It was in theorizing the role of sculpture in modern architecture-as well as the role of architecture in its landscape setting-that Le Corbusier first came to his paradigmatic trope, which thus finds its origins much further back than his late "synthetic" projects, where it was ultimately to achieve its most effective manifestations.

Abstract:
Cette thèse a étudié l’usage des auralisations durant la phase de design de projets architecturaux. Cette technologie, qui consiste à rendre audibles des simulations numériques à partir de modèles acoustiques géométriques, a été beaucoup utilisée en recherche, allant d’études cognitives à l’évaluation de l’acoustique des salles de concert, en passant par des études archéoacoustiques permettant la conservation du patrimoine via la reconstitution de l’empreinte acoustique de lieux historiques. La question ici était donc d’évaluer la potentielle amélioration que l’usage des auralisa- tions apporterait durant la conception d’espaces architecturaux. En se basant sur la théorie de l’acceptabilité pratique, l’usage des auralisations a été étudié à partir de questionnaire et entretiens de consultants en acoustique, ainsi que l’observation d’un cas pratique d’utilisation, en collaboration avec Theatre Projects Consultants. Ces études ont permis l’identification des principaux usages des auralisations, ainsi que les difficultés rencontrées, tant déclarées qu’observées, freinant l’adoption par les consul- tants. L’une des nécessités pour favoriser cette adoption tient dans la fiabilité de la technologie, que ce soit les outils eux-mêmes, ou les rendus de ces auralisations. La stabilité de la perception auditive a donc été évaluée, comparant différents systèmes de restitution. La méthode de reproduction sonore pour commencer, en comparant un rendu Binaural traqué et un rendu Ambisonic. De même, l’influence du système de VR visuel pour des auralisations multimodales a été évalué. Une relative stabilité de notre perception auditive a été observée, avec toutefois un léger impact du système sur l’évaluation de l’impression d’enveloppement (LEV) et de la largeur apparent de source (ASW). Des efforts sur l’adaptabilité des outils d’auralisations, et le transfert de connaissances de la recherche á l’industrie sont nécessaires pour permettre de mieux intégrer les auralisations dans les pratiques des architectes et acousticiens<br>This thesis investigated the use of auralization in the design phase of architectural projects. While this technology, which consists of rendering audible numerical acoustical simulations, has been extensively used in research, from cognitive to human-computer interfaces to archeology to concert halls acoustics evaluation studies, only limited data existed on its use by acoustical consultants for acoustical design. The question was to evaluate if auralizations can improve the processes of acoustical design for the conception of architectural spaces. Based on the practical acceptability theory, the use of auralizations has been studied through questionnaire and interviews of acoustical consultants, as well as the observation of a practical case study project, conducted in collaboration with Theatre Projects Consultants. These enabled the identification of the main uses of auralizations, as well as the difficulties encountered that impede the adoption of the technology. One of the requirements for its adoption is the accuracy and reliability of both the results and the tools themselves. Therefore, the stability of auditory perception was assessed in perceptive studies along a set of subjective attributes, with auralizations rendered over different interfaces, including sound reproduction methods and VR visual interfaces. The two sound reproduction methods compared were head-tracked Binaural and Ambisonic while the VR visual devices compared were a HMD and a CAVE-light system. A relative stability of auditaptory perception was observed, while the perceived Envelopment and Apparent Source Width were slightly impacted by the rendering system in both cases. Efforts in the adaptability of auralization tools for use in architectural design and knowledge transfer from research to industry are still needed for a better integration of auralizations in architects and acousticians workflow

Os fatores acústicos devem ser claramente compreendidos e incorporados no início da conceitualização do projeto arquitetônico, para que a qualidade sonora seja alcançada. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é investigar como os conceitos da acústica arquitetônica interferem na composição arquitetônica durante a fase projetual. Algumas tipologias de edifícios possuem propostas arquitetônicas mais complexas e exigem a participação de muitos especialistas, compondo equipes multidisciplinares. Esses fatores tornam indispensável a aplicação de uma metodologia de projeto, para tornar o processo projetual compreensível e transparente. O método de projeto baseado no desempenho foi identificado como um método adequado para a concepção de edifícios que envolvem vários requisitos de desempenho acústico. A presente pesquisa não pretende impor regras ou diretrizes projetuais, mas busca investigar como o projeto arquitetônico de edifícios pode ser enriquecido a partir do atendimento dos requisitos de conforto acústico e qualidade sonora. A partir da revisão bibliográfica, os aspectos arquitetônicos considerados mais relevantes e abrangentes aos edifícios contemporâneos foram: implantação e meio urbano, forma, dimensões e volume, materiais, mecanismos de variabilidade acústica e metodologia projetual. Para os estudos de caso foram analisadas as seguintes obras: a Sala São Paulo, projetada pelo arquiteto Nelson Dupré e equipe; Casa da Música, do arquiteto Rem Koolhaas; o Centro de Mídia Experimental e Artes Performáticas (EMPAC), do escritório Grimshaw Architects; e a Walt Disney Concert Hall, do arquiteto Frank Gehry. A análise dos resultados obtidos por meio dos estudos de caso foi feita a partir dos mesmos aspectos levantados na revisão bibliográfica, além da análise das metodologias projetuais aplicadas, com o intuito de se fazer uma verificação de como acústica e projeto arquitetônico dialogam em situações reais. Para uma visualização sintetizada, uma tabela foi elaborada relacionando parâmetros acústicos objetivos com os parâmetros subjetivos e as respectivas estratégias arquitetônicas para atendê-los. Espera-se que os requisitos acústicos não sejam somente uma fração da técnica de qualidade sonora, mas também um elemento que enriqueça o partido arquitetônico e a composição da arquitetura contemporânea<br>Abstract: During the design process, it is necessary for the architect to seek integrated solutions for a number of design requirements. Acoustic factors must be clearly understood and incorporated at the beginning of the design for the sound quality is achieved. The objective of this research is to investigate how the concepts of architectural acoustics affect the architectural composition during the design process. Some types of buildings have architectural proposals more complex and require the participation of many experts, forming multidisciplinary teams. These factors make it essential to apply a design methodology to make the design process understandable and clear. The performance based design method was identified suitable for designing buildings that involve a number of acoustic requirements. This research does not intend to impose rules or design guidelines, but seeks to investigate how the architectural design of buildings can be enhanced by compliance with the requirements of acoustic comfort and sound quality. From the literature review, the architectural aspects deemed most relevant and embracing to contemporary buildings were implantation and urban environment, shape, size and volume, materials, devices of acoustic variability and architectural design methodology. For the case studies the following projects were analyzed: the Sala Sao Paulo, by architect Nelson Dupré and team, Casa da Musica, designed by architect Rem Koolhaas, the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (Empac), by Grimshaw Architects, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, by architect Frank Gehry. The analysis of the results obtained through the case studies was made from the same issues raised in the literature review, and also the analysis of design methods applied in order to make an investigation of how acoustic and architectural design dialogue in real cases. For a synthesized view, a table relates objective acoustic parameters with subjective acoustic parameters and the architectural strategies to meet them. It is expected that the acoustic requirements are not only a fraction of the technique for sound quality, but also an element that enriches the architectural party and the composition of contemporary architecture<br>Mestrado<br>Arquitetura e Construção<br>Mestre em Engenharia Civil

The goal is to improve balance of the group allowing musicians to hear themselves and the orchestra better. However, the orchestra shell can also improve the acoustic quality for the audience. The objective of this study was to analyze the difference of the acoustic performance perceived at the audience area with the inclusion of a lightweight orchestra shell with diffuse surface in a proscenium theatre. Acoustic measurements were done in five different assembles of the orchestra shell. Measurements were done using the impulse response technique according to ISO3382-1 (2009). Measured parameters were Reverberation Time, Early Decay Time and Clarity index.

Abstract:
Healing and clinical work requires a complex choreography of architectural acoustic design in healthcare settings. In most healthcare settings, medical staff members conduct vital tasks that may have life-and-death implications. Patients visit the hospitals to heal. Their expectations include fast recovery, restful sleep, and privacy (i.e., speech privacy). However, sound environment qualities of the care settings often fall far from supporting the mission of hospitals. There is strong and growing evidence showing that effective soundscapes in healthcare settings potentially impact errors, healing and stress for patients, families and staff but it is still not clear what measures of the sound environment best predict key healthcare outcomes and what design strategies best impact those measures. By using a multi-method approach (i.e., objective and subjective noise level measurements, in-situ impulse response measurements, heuristic design analysis, theoretical studies, acoustic simulations and statistical analysis), this study aims to develop evidence based design strategies by statistically defining the relationships between three types of variables: (1) architectural floor-plate design metrics, (2) acoustic metrics, and (3) occupant response. The research is conducted in three phases. The first phase of the study compared the objective and subjective qualities of the hospital sound environments with different architectural designs, assessed the effectiveness of a newer acoustic metrics in capturing caregiver perceptions, and evaluated the impact of particular noise sources on caregiver outcomes. The second phase of the study tested the validity of an acoustic simulation tool in estimating the acoustic qualities of the healthcare soundscapes. The third phase of the study systematically explored the relationship between floor-plate design and acoustics of complex inter-connected nursing unit corridors. Even though the relationship between design and acoustics of proportional spaces (a.k.a. rooms with more traditional dimensions) has been well documented, the number of studies linking design and acoustics of complex non-proportional spaces such as inter-connected corridors still remains limited. The findings of the first phase show that critical care sound environments with different designs can vary drastically and impact caregivers` perceived wellbeing and task performance (e.g., patient auditory monitoring). Despite their extensive use, traditional noise metrics sometimes may not be effective in capturing unique characteristics of healthcare sound environments. This study validated the effectiveness of a new more detailed noise metric, "occurrence rate", in capturing the differences between acoustic characteristics of healthcare sound environments. Moreover, particular noise sources such as impulsive noises are likely to dominate the ICU sound environments and interfere with perceived caregiver health and performance. The findings of the second phase suggest the potential effectiveness of acoustic simulation tools (with hybrid prediction programs) in estimating the acoustic qualities of complex inter-connected hospital corridors. The findings of the third phase suggest the potential significant impact of design features of particular hallways (e.g., number of turns, corridor length, and number of branches) and overall floor-shape characteristics of inter-connected corridors (i.e., relative grid distance, and visual fragmentation) on reverberation time. Overall, in the units with shorter, more compact, fragmented corridors with multiple number of branching hallways, reverberation times are likely to be less. Moreover receivers located at the corridors with less number of turns from the sound source also potentially experience lower reverberation times. According to previous research, the human auditory system`s ability to monitor auditory cues is likely to be higher in the less reverberant sound environments.

Abstract:
Post-occupancy evaluations represent an important missed opportunity. While POEs are often used to inform design guides, and to support facility management, they are seldom used to support design decision-making. While there are several technical, methodological, and cultural impediments to the ongoing use of POE results in design, characteristics of POE data and data structure is an important, and often overlooked, impediment. Some evaluators have attempted to resolve this problem by involving actively as consultants in design teams or involving users, such as Placemaking or Process Architecture. Recent advances in conceptual data modeling provide another strategy to interface POE findings and design decision-making. This thesis uses EXPRESS modeling language to develop a conceptual data structure for POE data, and integrate POE data with as-built building descriptions. While this effort has the potential to develop an improved way to structure POE data and make it more useful, it is also an extension of ISO-STEP. This study develops a data structure based on post-occupancy evaluations of state and federal trial courtrooms conducted by the researcher. Thirty-one courtrooms were evaluated, resulting in usable data from 93 courtroom users in 26 courtrooms. An EXPRESS-G schema was developed and was translated into a relational database for holding data and running queries. The investigator illustrated a range of query-generated outcomes to support decision-making during design and design review. Such outcomes include exploring existing courtrooms, comprehending the types of design decisions implemented across federal and state courtrooms, identifying design decisions that have been rated favorably or otherwise by courtroom users, rating design decisions based on evaluation data from existing courtrooms, and predicting a designed environments supportiveness to task performance. Further, multivariate analysis of the POE data provides the first scientific investigation of courtrooms as work settings. Finally, eight key performance indicators of courtrooms were developed based on the POE data.

Abstract:
A regression-based energy method is developed for estimating the overall interior noise (dBA) and Articulation Index (AI) in the automobile passenger-compartment for engine operation at idle, 2500 rpm, and wide-open-throttle speeds. The method is developed for use in the early vehicle design stage for evaluating the effect of different vehicle and powertrain architecture designs on engine noise performance. Regression analyses from a database of standard vehicle chassis dynamometer tests are used to estimate the effect of vehicle and powertrain architectures on the acoustic energy response and resulting interior noise. Comparisons of the estimated versus measured dBA and AI responses show reasonable agreement for different powertrain types. However, the inclusion of only limited architecture details somewhat underestimates the actual response for certain engines and operating conditions.

Abstract:
Abstract: In the debates following the 1926–27 competition for the new headquarters of the League of Nations in Geneva, the acoustic aspect was largely overlooked. The competition coincided with the formation of architectural acoustics as a profession and an academic discipline. Looking at this coincidence sheds new light on the reasoning of Peter Meyer and Sigfried Giedion, who, in support of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret’s scheme, gave remarkable prominence to arguments about acoustics. The transmission of speech in the large Assembly Hall with seating for 2,700 could not be resolved by traditional techniques, and opinions on the modern method of electroacoustic amplification differed greatly. The protagonists who stepped forward in favor of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret’s scheme, for which Gustave Lyon served as acoustic advisor, emphasized the sound quality of their design for the large Assembly Hall. Despite the acoustically infeasible competition brief, they declared literal understanding, based on the intelligibility of speech, to be a fundamental function of the League of Nations headquarters. The questions raised in this paper relate to architecture’s aurality and visuality, as well as claims concerning function in debates on Modernism. Diplomatic understanding was evidently at stake in the League of Nations’ political program, but, curiously, literal understanding was neglected in the acoustic design for the Assembly Hall by many of the competitors and the jury, and—apart from a short remark by Jacques Gubler in 1985 —was subsequently overlooked by historians.
