Table of Contents and Preface

Developments resulting from studies of building physics are presented in this book which attempts to elucidate problems related to acoustical quality in halls of public buildings in terms of the current state of the art in architectural acoustics. Acoustical properties of spaces are discussed and methods of evaluating the acoustical quality of spaces for speech and musical problems are analyzed. Much attention is paid to the methods of the acoustical design of auditoriums including scale modeling. Examples of acoustical solutions carried out in full-scale halls are given. 172 pp hardcover 1994 (originally published 1986).
