CANKAYA UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE / DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE 2016-2017 SPRING SEMESTER INAR 326: ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS Assist. Prof. Dr. Papatya Nur Dökmeci Yörükoğlu: Office: 106/2, [email protected] Course Day/Time/Location: TUESDAY/09:00-12:00/AMFİ-4 Overview: This course concentrates on the basic concepts of acoustics and human hearing, behavior of sound in enclosed spaces, the theories on architectural acoustics, and the basic principles of noise control and acoustic comfort in buildings. The objectives of this course are: - To introduce basic concepts and principles of acoustics - To describe the physical, physiological, and psychological principles of auditory perception and the concept of acoustic comfort. - To give an overview of architectural acoustics and environmental noise - To explain the characteristics of spaces designed for effective listening, working, learning, and other functions. - To provide an understanding of the theories used in building acoustics - To present the concepts and application of architectural acoustics in terms of acoustic enhancement and noise control in enclosures. At the end of this course, students should: -Have gained an understanding of the basic concepts of acoustics, and auditory perception -Have a comprehensive knowledge of theories used in architectural acoustics -Be able to identify, discuss and resolve acoustical problems related to architectural acoustics, and acoustic comfort. -Be aware of the analysis and improvement techniques, as well as material usage and applications relevant to architectural acoustics.
