| Abstract: | The room acoustics in atria This article describes the room acoustic features of atria. The work was forced by several inquiries of designers and architects concerning simplified methods to design the room acoustic in lobbies and atria in response to advanced acoustical requirements of atrium users. The described results of measurements in several atria proved that in most cases the room acoustical properties were not satisfied. Starting with acoustical features of concert halls, typical room acoustical behaviours of atria as well as limits in the acoustical properties were developed. Up to now the acoustic perception of speaking and music performances is strongly constricted in most atria. |
