BUILDING SCIENCE II
PROJECT 1: ACOUSTICAL CASE STUDY
The aim and objectives of this report is to provide a concise and well-documented analysis that can showcase our understanding of our case study of acoustical theory in auditorium halls. Done so over the course of five to six weeks, the learning outcomes are as follows:
1. To study and develop an understanding of auditoriums through their design layout and judge its influence on the effectiveness of the acoustical design for its designated purpose.
2. To study the general acoustical characteristics of an auditorium hall and develop a good understanding of the physics behind their functions.
3. To be able to produce a well-documented report that surmises our findings and analysis of our case study – which can then serve as an example of our accumulated knowledge of the relationship between acoustics and space.
PROJECT 2: STUDIO INTEGRATION
The second and final project of this module is an individual project that integrates with the semester five’s module, Studio V. It focuses on the principles of lighting design and daylighting analysis in the context of our final design project. To wrap up this module, individually we have to apply what we have learned (chiefly daylighting and artificial lighting strategies) into our community library designs from Studio V. This involves us individually creating innovative daylighting solutions as well as running luminance simulations.
