  abstract: Acoustics is a vital but often overlooked part of architecture. It is frequently misunderstood or not even offered in most architectural schools, so many architects do not receive the practical training necessary to maximize their designs. With this education gap in mind, Acoustic Essentials for Architects is the primer architects need to fill the void. Written by an industry veteran with 45 years of hands-on experience in a low-tech, conversational style, it will help architects better understand and visualize the relationship between the physical shapes, textures and dimensions of their work and how those design decisions impact the qualitative behavior of sound. This peer-reviewed book details the essential terminology and concepts of architectural acoustics, including why it's so important to understand the incredible dimensional range of wavelengths between the lowest and highest audible sounds, the feasibility aspects of applied acoustics, and the trade-offs to blending architecture, acoustics and pragmatism.
