COURSE DEFINITION	This course teaches the fundamental concepts and methods required for the acoustic comfort conditions of music-functional spaces. The aim of the course is to provide information on considering acoustic criteria from the design stages of halls for the audibility of music in music-functional spaces and ensuring accurate designs. Additionally, it enables an understanding of how acoustic design intersects with engineering and art fields.
