| Course Objectives | The objective of this course is to introduce students basic knowledge about architectural acoustics. Integration of architectural acoustics knowledge in students’ architectural designs is aimed. Room acoustics and noise control are two main topics which will be covered in the lectures. In room acoustics part, students will learn how to design a hall considering surface materials and geometry to reach the required reverberation time values. Noise control part includes the principles of sound transmission and layers of building elements. Combining both, students will design a hall for music or speech. Students are expected to make their own calculations in Excel and create necessary tables. |

| Course Description | Course is organized to make students understand how to integrate acoustics with architectural design. Lectures about room acoustics and noise control will be given. Readings about sound, music and soundscapes will be supplied and discussions will be held. Students will be expected to design their own hall (for music or speech purposes) by drawings and calculations. They will propose an initial design and improve it throughout the semester. The project submission is going to include information about sound absorption coefficients of materials, reverberation time, geometry of the hall and the layers of the building elements. |
