Abstract:
In this line of pedagogy, architectural acoustics is filtered through the graphic and built language of architecture. First, a series of animations were created to explain room acoustics to architecture students. The impulse response as a concept is inherently spatial and dynamic. It can be explained with text, and it can be explained more clearly when illustration is included, but because the path of sound and the loudness at a receiver fluctuates with time, it can be best explained with a narrated animation (available online). Second, the physics of sound, room acoustics, and noise control were illustrated as part of a book, Architectural Acoustics Illustrated (Wiley, 2015). Building material choices, spatial relationships, best-practices, and data were explored through drawing; non-obvious and counter-intuitive graphic findings are presented. Finally, 15 architecture students explored room acoustics through ray tracing and auralization software. Then they designed and built an amphitheater for the town of Clifton Forge, Virginia. The completed project was widely published, was the subject of a documentary film, and earned award recognition from the American Institute of Architects.
