86351 Sound and Space

This subject requires the student to examine the principles of acoustics, sound and noise and their application in designing interiors that satisfy human needs of comfort and security. A series of lectures, tutorial exercises, research projects and applied design projects allows the students to gain experience in using sound as a determinant of interior quality. The issues raised in the lectures are explored through detailed design projects that look at the manipulation of the interior space to achieve the desired behavioural outcome for the users and at the same time re-examine the role of sound and soundscapes in interior places.
