Weekly Subjects and Releated Preparation Studies
| Week | Subjects | Preparation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introductions and expectations from students. Discussion and critique. The difference between sound, noise and music is "discussion of acoustic perception with architectural design " | |
| 2 | Basic acoustic concepts; what is the sound, how it spreads. Wave theory is a precaution. It's the sound propagation of wave movements. Time Delay. | |
| 3 | Sound propagation rules; Sound movements, orientation, deviation, scattering, reflection, transition types. | |
| 4 | Voice control routines; control methods and effects on source, on the road and in the receiver. | reading |
| 5 | Pre presentation for research | reading |
