Architectural Acoustics

Focusing on the design of concert and multipurpose halls, the book introduces a seat selection system for analyzing both new and existing venues. It proposes a diagnostic method for evaluating physical and psychological attributes of seating arrangements, linked to auditory cognitive processes in the brain. By calculating subjective preferences for various seating locations, professionals can optimize performance settings and hall acoustics. The author emphasizes engaging both hemispheres of the brain through text and illustrations, making it a valuable resource for architects, musicians, and acoustical engineers.
