Course Objectives Understanding of the interaction of sound and light formation, their properties and propagation in architectural design using the properties of sound physics. Understanding of the joint use of both techniques to strengthen the desired effect. Emphasis on design and application of technical knowledge in this regard.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • - Recognize the properties of sound and acoustic physics. - Learn the physical properties required for illumination and acoustical control in design. - Recognize sound and light control materials.
Course Content Basic information about sound, acoustics, and light; application of designs based on knowledge about sound and light, and their impact on users.

Weekly Subjects and Releated Preparation Studies

Week Subjects Preparation
1 Designing acoustics and light sources. Human reactions in the use of sound and light. Ergonomics and psychiatry are the key to sound and light. The subject is shared for the work of design proposals described by general concepts of the subject.
2 What is sound, how are sound sources, how to spread. Reflective and absorbing materials.
3 Sound geometry. Effects of different geometric constructions on sound propagation. Acoustic design and sound insulation materials in closed spaces.
4 What is light, how are light sources, how is it spread? Reflective and absorbing materials
5 Natural and artificial l,ght theory and effect on design.
6 Auditorium acoustics and lighting. Stage acoustics and lighting.
