COURSE DEFINITION	Sound is an important physical component in designing the indoor atmosphere. Controlled propagation of sound is very important for designing ergonomic and functional spaces. The main objective of the course is to determine the right materials in spaces by understanding the components of sound, to choose design elements that provide acoustic comfort, to provide the necessary interior equipment to design the geometry to provide an efficient acoustic functioning, and to work in this direction.
