Description
This book gives architects and designers a working knowledge of architectural acoustics. The control of sound is important not only in obvious places like concert halls, but also in offices where privacy is essential. In "Architectural Acoustics," six experienced consultants present basic acoustical principles; specific materials, methods, and techniques for controlling sound in and around buildings; and some recent innovations in acoustical research.
