Architectural acoustics, develops the fundamental theoretical principles of the architectural acoustics, in the fields of room acoustics and acoustic isolation. The aims of the subject are: provide a sufficient theoretical background that allow the understanding of the behaviour of the sound filed in rooms; define the parameters that allow to evaluate the acoustic quality of rooms; develop the techniques of design that allow to optimise the acoustic behaviour of rooms; detail the parameters that allow to evaluate the acoustic isolation in buildings and introduce the problematic of the calculation of the acoustic insulation in the buildings and building elements.
