Klangräume

Concert halls, opera houses, clubs, dance halls, theatres, churches and recording studios are places where not only the architectural framework must be convincing, but also the acoustic design is of utmost importance. They provide both the perfection of sound and the comfort for the audience. These buildings come very close to the ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk, but are nevertheless completely orientated towards their use.

What needs to be considered when constructing such multi-sensory rooms? What difficulties or special features are there? How are rooms ideally used? And what are the differences depending on the character of the respective performance? Questions like these are posed and answered by the approximately 50 sound rooms of around 55 architects and specialists in acoustics in this publication. They provide an exciting and informative insight into the scenery of acoustics-centered rooms and buildings.
