Document Summary
Architecture and sound: practices of acoustic optimization. The most obvious intersection between architecture, sound and technological practice concerns the ways in which technology is deployed to optimize conditions od aural reception. >traditional elements of optimization mentioned by sheridan and. These qualities have been of interest to classical as well as contemporary architects. However, before the 19th century architects had no way of objectively determining acoustic response. >classical architects used the science of pythagorean geometry to model acoustic space, assuming this geometry would necessarily produce harmonious acoustic properties. > contemporary architects and acoustic engineers use electronic measurements (qnd today digital modeling) to determine acoustic effect. This is not to say that classical architects did not deploy acoustic. >the geometric rations of pythagoras are an important. >classical architects also used a technology known as resonant. This technique makes use of a physical principle that is.
