It is frequently misunderstood or not even offered in most architectural schools, so many architects do not receive the practical training necessary to maximize their designs. With this education gap in mind, \u003cb\u003eAcoustic Essentials for Architects\u003c\/b\u003e is the primer architects need to fill the void.\u003cbr\u003e Written by an industry veteran with 45 years of hands-on experience in a low-tech, conversational style, it will help architects better understand and visualize the relationship between the physical shapes, textures, and dimensions of their work and how those design decisions impact the qualitative behavior of sound. This peer-reviewed book details the essential terminology and concepts of architectural acoustics, including why it's so important to understand the incredible dimensional range of wavelengths between the lowest and highest audible sounds, the feasibility aspects of applied acoustics, and the trade-offs to blending architecture, acoustics, and pragmatism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Fay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1604272112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604272116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
