[audiobook] Cymbeline: A Comedy by William Shakespeare at Arts-Photography

Description

Explores the Science and Practice Of Acoustics for Arts Centers Employing the experiences of a world-renowned acoustician celebrated for the successful design of multi-use performing arts centers; Acoustics of Multi-Use Performing Arts Centers examines the complexities of this venue and discusses the challenges and solutions that arise in the concept; design; construction and commissioning phases. This book addresses the various programming needs of a multi-use performing arts center (needs that can range from symphony; opera and ballet to highly-amplified concerts and Broadway productions) and provides instruction from the planning of the initial concept to the final tuning stages. While assuming a basic understanding of the principals of sound; construction and performance; the author includes architectural drawings drawn to scale and presents case studies with in-depth discussion of undocumented halls. He also provides a full chapter on tuning multi-use halls and offers an inside look at design options for adjustable acoustics that include stage; pit and hall design.In addition; the book: Covers the fundamentals of acoustics as it relates to initial stages of multi-use hall designExplores the concepts of acoustics in terms of new and renovated spacesDefines the basic components of the building structureExamines floors; walls; ceilings; shells; and finishes and how they can be designed to achieve acoustic excellenceDiscusses how to use and tune adjustable acoustic systems in a multi-use hall in order to achieve acoustic excellenceDesigned as a step-by-step guide to achieving outstanding acoustics in multi-use performance spaces; Acoustics of Multi-Use Performing Arts Centers serves students; architects; engineers; designers and acousticians.
