Project 1 : Auditorium (A Case Study On Acoustic Design)

An auditorium is a special room built to enable an audience to hear and watch performance at venues such as theaters and music halls. For movie theaters, the number of auditoriums is expressed as the number of screens. Auditorium can be found entertainment venues, community halls, and theaters may be used for rehearsal, presentation, performing arts productions. Apart from entertainment, an auditorium also used for a speech delivery such as lecture theaters. A successful design of auditorium muchly depend on its acoustic design which include the auditorium layout plus absorption materials used. It is essential to preserve and enhance the desired sound and to eliminate noise and undesired sound.

An auditorium is a special room built to enable an audience to hear and watch performances at venues such as theatres and music halls. Apart from entertainment, an auditorium also used for a space for speech delivery such as lecture theatres. A successful design of auditoriums very much depends on its acoustic design which includes the auditorium layout plus absorption materials used. It is essential to preserve and enhance the desired sound and to eliminate noise and undesired sound. Therefore, in a group of 8, we are to conduct a case study on Auditorium locally. It is an observe and report case study, where the list of task is stated as below: 

- Drawings of the auditorium (floor layout, significant sections)
- Historical background
- Sound absorption materials used
- Sound source (in the auditorium)
- Sound path (in the auditorium)
- Compile information into a report
