Zunde, Joan.Publisher: Abindgdon Taylor & Francis 2010Description: 303 Pages.ISBN: 978-0-415-40379-0.Subject(s): CASE STUDIES;FACADE;ROOF | ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENT (AR-ENV)DDC classification: 720.47 Summary: design process, the resulting space can be free of unwanted sound and promote good hearing; if left unaddressed, the problems with the space can lead to lawsuits and costly post–construction remediation. Architectural Acoustics Illustrated helps designers solve most acoustical problems in advance, by enabling readers to:
Understand the physical science underlying the behavior of sound
Consider the interactions of sound and space in the initial design approach
Mitigate building sounds such as those produced by HVAC and plumbing with early design planning
Design spaces for listening, and incorporate acoustics best practices into every plan
The highly visual format of the book helps readers grasp complex concepts quickly, and thorough discussion of each concept′s real–world application ties the science directly into the design process. All design professionals need to have a fundamental understanding of acoustics, and Architectural Acoustics Illustrated is a comprehensive, practical guide in an easy–to–read format.
