One project begets many: The role of one seminal project in the development of many design solutions (Part 3)

In the third and final part of this multi-part paper, computer modeling will be described as a tool for presentation to client groups (often skilled listeners but not expert acousticians). Over the course of the Verizon Hall project, computer models were used to present visual illustrations that explained the acoustic concerns experienced by the orchestra. Starting with this project, Threshold began to develop computer models as tools to translate acoustic phenomena in ways that clients could understand visually and, over time, aurally. The development of customized computer modeling techniques has further supported communication with non-acousticians, and examples of these techniques will be presented.
