The acoustic performance of buildings has a profound impact on how we live, work and communicate. Whether designing hospitals, schools, offices, concert halls or theatres, engineers play a key role in creating spaces that provide appropriate sound insulation, speech intelligibility and listening experiences. This module explores the principles of architectural acoustics and their application to the design of high-quality built environments.

You will investigate how sound is transmitted through buildings, how materials and construction influence acoustic performance, and how engineers design spaces to achieve specific acoustic objectives. You will also explore the specialist requirements of auditoria and performance spaces, considering factors such as reverberation, clarity and audience experience. Through advanced measurement techniques, prediction methods and practical activities developed in collaboration with industry partners, you will gain valuable experience of the tools and approaches used by professional acoustic consultants.

By the end of the module, you will be able to evaluate and design the acoustic performance of buildings and auditoria using both theoretical and practical methods. The knowledge and skills developed are directly applicable to careers in architectural acoustics, building services engineering, environmental acoustics and multidisciplinary building design.

This module builds upon the design modules within Parts 1 and 2 and places specific focus on the process of designing structures where the solutions and elements are fully integrated. It emphasises the relationship between context, user requirements, structure, material and space. Each year, a design brief is set that provides the opportunity to pursue, investigate and experiment with individual design methodologies and processes within a real world context.

Students are expected to use the knowledge gained in previous years and develop designs in a manner that balances form, function and technical considerations. This module seeks to operate in similar manner to a professional design office, with rigorous and self-motivated working and communication practices.

Students will use the weekly studio sessions to progress their design work alongside their peers and will receive individual as well as group tutorials. Interim and final reports and presentations to design tutors and fellow students, and possibly external critics from industry, act as milestones for students to demonstrate the design proposal throughout its development.
