Harmonizing Space And Sound: A Unified Approach To Architectural Acoustics From Outdoor Spaces To Indoor Environments.

This thesis contributes to the field of architectural acoustics by offering an innovative and interdisciplinary methodology that links archaeoacoustics, soundscape, predictive methods, and the design of innovative materials for which patent applications have been filed. Archaeoacoustics provides lessons for modern architecture by combining historical insights and acoustic measurements. Soundscape suggests more sustainable and efficient types of interventions by evaluating the perceptual aspect. Predictive methods allow rapid estimation of the acoustics of a room by suggesting the amount of sound-absorbing materials to be introduced into the room. Finally, innovative sound-absorbing materials allow further simplification in the choice of materials to be placed within the analyzed environment. The most important contribution of this research is the development of low-frequency TRAMA (Tunable Resonators by Additive Manufacturing for Architecture) tunable resonators. These resonators are capable of absorbing specific frequencies and can be tuned on-site to meet the acoustic needs of a space. This makes them particularly useful in dynamic environments such as theaters and classrooms, where acoustic requirements vary depending on the performance and activity within them. In conclusion, the results obtained unify several specialized fields of acoustics, simplifying them to make them accessible to a wider range of professionals.
