Chairs: Louena Shtrepi (Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy), Zackery Belanger (Umbel, Detroit, USA)
A more human-centric design of the built environment requires a better integrated design process that embraces not only aesthetics but also functionality promoting health and well-being. The session gathers contributions that investigate the integration of innovative acoustic surfaces into architecture considering indoor and outdoor implementations. How are unique surfaces designed, fabricated, installed, and validated, especially those which meet the aesthetic goals of the architect? What are effective workflow processes and how are aspects of acoustic behaviour incorporated? Of particular interest are surfaces that were not developed to be off-the-shelf acoustic products and the challenges that need to be faced in their performance characterization. The session welcomes studies on the application of multidisciplinary know-how in shaping new design approaches with acoustic perception in mind and highlighting emerging trends in acoustic product development.
