Credits: 2 credits Prerequisites: MP-341 or MS-381 or MTEC-381, either LMSC-208 or LMSC-209, and written approval of course chair Course Chair: S. Croes Required of: None Electable by: MPED and MSYN majors Offered: Spring Description This course will provide advanced information and training in the science of acoustics. It will examine advanced methodologies for the testing of acoustic spaces and properties and lead to strategies for acoustic manipulation and design. Using existing and past projects as source material, world-renowned acoustician John Storyk will take students through the acoustical design process, including both acoustical and programmatic considerations. He will draw on pictures, charts, graphs, and recorded examples taken from real-world projects, both completed and in process, to highlight the challenges encountered and solutions devised for creating program-satisfying and acoustically correct facilities. These facilities encompass both world-class multi-room studio facilities as well as smaller-budget project and home studios. This is an applications-oriented follow-up to our existing required acoustics class and would be an upper-semester elective.
