ACOUSTIC+2

 Describe how you, as an architect, would achieve acoustic comfort in the selected place. Be detailed in your explanation.

· An Auditórium for 100 people  In an Auditorium for 100 people, I, as an Architect, would achieve acoustic comfort place by taking care of the sound transmission, sound absorption, sound reflection and sound diffusion because those aspect are very important for a room acoustic.

In an auditorium we need to have a good acoustic because all people in there have to listen what the speaker says. We have to have in mind that the sounds insulation is important too because this is the route that the sound takes from the room to other areas and in a big place we have to know where it goes.

The reverberation is very important too because is decided by the added absorption and how is placed, the quantity and placing of sound scatted objects such as furniture, shelves, etc and the size and shape of the room, so I should have a big place to put an auditorium, and the only furniture that I have would be the chairs of the people and the podium, and some kind of cover in the roof for hide the instruments of sound, lights, etc.

We need to have an according sound level for the quantity of amount absorption and clarity of speech that annulment the background noise.

So if we have in mind all of these aspects we can build an auditorium with RAC (room acoustic comfort) and enjoy a clarity speech with a very well acoustic.
