STUDY OF ACOUSTIC ARCHITECTURAL MATERIALS FOR MUSIC HALL DESIGN

In the design of music hall, having good acoustics is indispensable. One of the ways to ensure that is to consider various architectural materials with acoustic properties. The acoustic architectural materials for music hall design are considered from sound absorbing materials/panels for walls, floors and ceiling. Various local and international materials have unique properties that are advantageous to music hall design. Materials such as sound absorption panels trap acoustical energy (sound) and prevent it from reflecting off of the surfaces they cover. This quality makes it very essential to the design of the music hall. The aim of this research is to examine various acoustic friendly architectural materials in the design of a music hall.
The objectives of this research are:
1. Identify the acoustic friendly materials in the design of a music hall.
2. Explore the various forms or shapes of buildings suitable for effective acoustic
function.
3. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of locally sourced acoustic friendly
materials.
The research methodology used to carry out this study is qualitative research questionnaires and interviews were major element of the qualitative method of research. At the end of this research, it is expected to understand that the case of auditorium in Caleb university and her environ were studied. Also, acoustics architectural materials for music hall design has a considerable effect on the hall’s acoustic performance through sound reflection and diffusion. Therefore, to achieve the optimal acoustic performance of a music hall design this study of acoustics architectural materials is important. With the amazing expertise and knowledge in the research of acoustics architectural materials in the music hall design, we expect to achieve a suitable space in the study area.
