| Descripción: |
This paper gives an overview of the history of the development of architectural acoustics and a sampling of the results of several more recent research studies. There are now standardised measures for assessing room acoustics character and there are criteria for room acoustics in terms of these measures. For rooms for speech, such criteria are not so well defined for some special groups of listeners such as the very young or old, hearing impaired listeners, and those listening in a second language. For rooms for musical performance, there is a growing understanding of the more important acoustical characteristics of concert halls, but still a need to improve tools for applying this knowledge to the design of these spaces. Cet article donne un aperçu de l’historique du développement de l’acoustique architecturale ainsi qu’un échantillon des résultats des derniers projets de recherche. Il existe actuellement des mesures standardisées pour évaluer l’acoustique d’une pièce et des critères relatifs à ces mesures. Pour les pièces réservées à la communication orale, de tels critères ne sont pas très bien définis pour certains groupes d’auditeurs, tels que les très jeunes ou les gens âgés, les malentendants ou ceux qui écoutent un discours dans une langue qui n’est pas la leur. Dans le domaine musical, les caractéristiques acoustiques les plus importantes des salles de concerts sont de mieux en mieux connues, mais il faut améliorer les outils de façon à appliquer ces connaissances à la conception de ces espaces. |
