Descripción
The acoustical quality of an auditorium for music is a complex cultural subject that involves, at least, the physics of waves, the auditory perception, the musical use of the space and the listeners’ individual preferences. The scientific analysis of those questions requires the examination of the complex correspondence between the acoustical fields and the music perception of them. The main objective of this paper is to develop a methodology of acoustical analysis and design, which allows us to predict some aspects of the final acoustical quality of a hall based on its basic architectural shapes. From the selected acoustical data, four main architectural typologies were established as canonical shapes: shoebox, fan, vineyard and horseshoe. All of them have their own and particular acoustical behavior. The analysis carried out in several auditoriums and theatres within the Republic of Argentina allows us to conclude that the acoustic quality of a hall for music can be inferred from its architectural basic typology, if certain general conditions are met. On the other hand, it is possible to explain the behavior of some non-traditional acoustic fields by applying an analysis that combines various architectural typologies.
