Course Objectives The aim of this course is to make students learn the acoustic properties of many building and architectural structures such as cultural centers, historical buildings, hospitals, schools, entertainment centers, concert halls and use them in their designs. He uses the theoretical information he has received for this. It makes the measurement and analyzes the measurement results.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • They learn different sound structures such as sound aesthetics, noise, which contains acoustic subjects. It learns and uses acoustic design by using voice technology.
Course Content Building acoustics, interior acoustics and noise control in special buildings with the principles and implementation techniques; the usage of acoustics materials; the integration of principles of acoustics with the design principles.
