Acoustic architecture is the study and design of buildings and structures with a focus on optimal acoustics, whereas acoustics in general is the study of sound and its properties. Therefore, the relationship between acoustic architecture and acoustics in general is that acoustic architecture is a specialization within the broader field of acoustics that applies the principles of acoustics to the design and construction of buildings and structures. Optimal acoustics in a building can enhance the quality of sound within the space, and help achieve desired acoustic effects, such as reducing noise or creating a specific sound environment.
