Features: The book "Acoustic Design for Performing Arts Buildings - Inheritance" is based on the practical activities of performing arts buildings. It briefly explains the acoustic design principles that should be mastered during the entire process of engineering design, from the tendering and bidding of the project to the final acceptance, as well as specific measures to achieve good acoustic effects and reasonable work procedures, along with operational methods for collaboration with various disciplines. It also uses examples of acoustic design for various performing arts buildings as reference objects to achieve the purpose of understanding the current situation, expanding ideas, and clarifying development directions. The book is divided into 10 chapters:
Chapter 1: The Initial Stage of Acoustic Design for Performing Arts Buildings, explaining that acoustic design should be involved from the early stages of the tendering and bidding of performing arts building design, as it plays a critical role in reminding designers and should not be overlooked.
Chapter 2: The Entire Process of Acoustic Design for Performing Arts Buildings - Acoustic Design Procedures, outlining the work and design procedures of acoustic design that correspond to the progress of the project at different stages of engineering construction.
Chapter 3: Acoustic Requirements and Design Parameters for Performing Arts Buildings.
Chapter 4: An Overview of Acoustic Design for Performing Arts Buildings, providing a detailed explanation of the various technical measures necessary to ensure good acoustic performance in performing arts buildings.
Chapters 5 to 10 introduce the principles of acoustic design and 182 engineering design examples for concert halls, opera houses, theaters, local theaters, multi-purpose theaters, outdoor theaters, practice rooms, rehearsal halls, dance halls, recording and playback rooms.
The readers of this book are primarily architects and cultural and art management personnel. However, given its content, it also has reference value for interior acoustic finishing designers, construction workers, and students and teachers of relevant majors in colleges and universities.
