COURSE DEFINITION
The aim of this course is to make correct designs in terms of acoustic criteria for speech clarity and music sensibility while preparing architectural projects of music halls. In this course, the architectural designs of buildings with differing functions are studied with respect to their sizes according to acoustics, volume and area per person, surfaces of spaces, slope of floors, seating arrangements, stage design, surface improvements in terms of acoustics, internal surface coating materials and constructions and preparation of the principal details of all building materials.
