What is acoustic architecture?

Acoustic architecture refers to the intentional design and construction of buildings and spaces with sound in mind. This includes consideration of factors such as room acoustics, sound transmission, noise reduction, and speech intelligibility. Acoustic architecture aims to create spaces that optimize the quality of sound for their intended use, whether that be for music performance, speech communication, or other purposes. It may involve the use of specialized materials, such as sound-absorbing panels or insulation, as well as careful placement of architectural features such as walls, ceilings, and flooring to achieve the desired acoustic environment.
