Precede acoustician of Australian engineering firm ATM, Keith Hewitt, talks about the acoustic pitfalls of contemporary design and the plain steps every architect and developer can take to create acoustic harmony, without compromising the elegance of fresh design. The allure of new architecture’s orderly lines and difficult surfaces has captured the masses. But some designs can conceal a complexity of issues for the acoustics of a building, which can lead to costly and unattractive solutions. Nothing like new architecture, says Keith: There’s a instinctive tension between fresh architecture and acoustics. Whilst these materials look striking, they do nothing to soften the sound. Instead, they reflect safe and create a construct up of disturbance in the space. Keith suggests angles are equally important. Sharp, angular lines are another dramatic design element that cause safe to dart off the surface in the mirrored direction much like a cue ball effect. Though it created a grand, welcoming entrance and increased the instinctive light throughout the building, it also carried extravagant commotion into the upper office floors. If an acoustician had been involved during the design phase, these issues could have been overcome easily and economically. With appropriate planning, anything is possible. So how do architects and developers ensure their design will safe as appropriate as it looks? Keith says it’s all about planning: Acoustics need to match the architectural function and aesthetic value of the project. Some sounds you want to travel, others you don’t. Acousticians can work hand in hand with architects to achieve the right outcome for the space. It isn’t eternal about reducing noise, but rather, creating the right safe for the space, which will naturally be very diverse for a library, house, office or restaurant. There’s an overgrowing number of quality acoustic products on the market that can be incorporated in the design process to optimism the use of safe within that space. A good acoustician can advise how to incorporate these into the design to oversee the way safe behaves and compliment the overall aesthetic and function.
