PROJECT 01 : A CASE STUDY ON ACOUSTIC DESIGN
The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre also known as KLPac or Pentas Seni Kuala Lumpur is one of the most established centres for the performing arts in Malaysia. It is a non-profit company whose aim is to "cultivate and sustain the performing arts for the betterment and enrichment of communities within the Klang Valley and for the Nation.
Founded by Joe Hasham and Dato' Faridah Merican. Each year, KLPac and the Actors Studio plays host to more than a hundred major events, as well as many other workshops, classes, film screenings and more. Many of KLPac events are self-directed and self organised shows.
The aim and objective of this report is to provide a concise and well-documented analysis that can showcase our understanding of our case study of acoustical theory in auditorium halls. Done so over the course of five to six weeks, the learning outcomes are as follows:
​
-
To study and develop an understanding of auditorium through their design layout and judge its influences on the effectiveness of the acoustical design for its designated purpose.
-
To study the general acoustical characteristics of an auditorium hall and develop a good understanding of the physical behind their functions
-
To be able to produce a well-documented report that surmises our finding and analysis of our case study - which can then serve as an example of our accumulated knowledge of the relationship between acoustic and space.
​
​
By observing and analysis the type of acoustical design theories applied in the auditorium, we are then able to develop a better understanding on the characteristic of architectural space and how it affect the multiplicity of design approaches that can be taken for said space to be considered “acoustically efficient”. It is also important to know how different types of design and their acoustical treatment influence the sound efficiency and the overall user experience.
