Architectural acoustics is specifically related to the interactions of sound both within and between architectural spaces. As the events of the past few years have shown us, designing comfortable, workable and livable indoor spaces across a range of applications is integral to the human experience. While acoustic design has long been a desired goal, the art and science of acoustics has taken on new and undisputed importance. With that in mind, as architects begin to develop alternative ways of seeing spaces that incorporate better indoor environmental quality, the range of acoustical designs and products has expanded to meet the moment. The Acoustics Academy provides a look at traditional acoustical choices as well as cutting-edge systems that seamlessly integrate with a new aesthetic. It explores how acoustical products can support sustainable spaces, meet occupant comfort and health needs, and rise to the design and performance goals owners, occupants, and architects are aiming to achieve. This academy illustrates how good acoustical design is a catalyst toward new and improved artful innovation within the built space.
