Geometry of Sound

This project is inspired by the geometry of sound A unique endeavor that seeks to translate the fluid and dynamic nature of sound waves into the physical form and design of a structure. It aims to create an immersive and harmonious environment where the visual and auditory experiences intertwine seamlessly.

The choice of materials in this architectural project is crucial to evoke the sensory qualities of sound. Textured surfaces, such as perforated panels, sound-absorbing materials, and reflective finishes, are strategically integrated into the design. These materials not only enhance the acoustics but also contribute to the visual experience, adding depth and tactility to the space

Intervention Area

Construction materials play a pivotal role in architecture and the construction of new buildings They have a significant impact on the overall design, functionality, durability, sustainability, and even the cost of the structure.

When selecting external materials for the building, it is crucial to consider adequate insulation to combat the high temperatures experienced during daylight hours in cities However, it is equally important to choose materials that do not compromise the building's design or alter its intended geometry. By striking a balance between functionality and aesthetics, designers can achieve both effective thermal protection and architectural integrity

In an auditorium, the materials used on the ceiling serve multiple purposes, including sound insulation and temperature control within the building. Specifically, appropriate acoustic materials are employed to ensure optimal sound reflection and absorption for a superior auditory experience. These materials play a vital role in this regard, as they have the ability to absorb, diffuse, or reflect sound waves in order to achieve the desired acoustic characteristics By strategically placing and utilizing these materials on the ceiling, sound can be controlled, minimizing echoes and reverberations that can negatively impact the clarity of the audio

Internal materials, such as carpets, seat upholstery, and wall coverings, are essential components of an auditorium. These materials contribute to comfort, acoustics, and aesthetics. Carpets provide acoustic insulation and enhance audience comfort. Seat upholstery ensures both visual appeal and audience comfort Wall coverings, such as acoustically treated panels or fabric coverings, improve sound quality and add to the auditorium's visual appeal The selection of these materials considers factors like durability, acoustic performance, fire safety, maintenance, and design. Overall, internal materials play a crucial role in creating a pleasant and functional auditorium space.
