Computational Acoustics in Architecture (Advances in Architecture Volume 8)

Describes the present state of knowledge concerning different aspects of room acoustics, such as the importance and evaluation of lateral reflections, objective variables, and subjective attributes of the sound field, surface treatments to achieve sound absorption and diffusion,
different modelization, simulation, and auralization techniques, etc.

This book is written by eminent acoustics researchers from all over the world, and there is a chapter on each of these aspects. Of the final two chapters, one deals specifically with sound fields in theaters and auditoriums and the other deals with sound fields in churches.

This volume is written mainly for architects and engineers who are interested in the problem of sound quality in theaters and auditoriums. It also provides useful information for
theorists and researchers in the field of architectural acoustics on the
present state of knowledge in this discipline.
