Modern concert halls and opera houses are now very specialized buildings with special acoustical characteristics. With new contemporary case-studies, this updated book explores these characteristics as an important resource for architects, engineers and auditorium technicians.
Supported by over 40 detailed case studies and architectural drawings of 75 auditoria at a scale of 1:500, the survey of each auditorium type is completed with a discussion of current best practice to achieve optimum acoustics.
Reviews of 1st edition:
'Barron's present book is a must for all architects faced with a major auditorium.' - Architect's Journal
'wonderfully clear exposition and a fascinating study...an excellent textbook and an introduction to the subject of acoustics which all theatre technicians would find useful.' - The Stage
'This book is undoubtedly destined to become a classic. It is the first book since Beranek’s classic, Music, Acoustics and Architecture (1962) to deal with auditorium acoustics in the wider context of architecture…it can be read, understood and enjoyed by acousticians and architects alike.' - Journal of Sound and Vibration
'The book serves as an invaluable tutorial to the acoustician and architect on what architectural forms work best for auditoria and for different program types. For this, the book comes unreservedly recommended.' - Journal of Audio Engineering Society
