Chapter 6 - Recent Innovations in Acoustical Design and Research

Gary W. Siebein and Bertram Y. Kinzey (UF, Professor Emeritus) submitted Chapter 6: Recent Innovations in Architectural Aoustical Design and Research. The chapter focuses on the most recent progress in the field of acoustics in developing methods of evaluating, modeling, and predicting the acoustical qualities of buildings and environments. The chapter also reviews new developments in soundscape design, modeling and aural simulation, research in new materials for sound diffusion, noise control devices for mechanical systems, impact sounds, the noises in air distribution systems, and advances in other building systems. Seven case studies including Segerstrom Hall, McDermott Concert Hall, Evangeline Atwood Concert Hall, Bass Performance Hall, Esplanade Concert Hall, and Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall were presented.
