Proceeding from basic theory to design studies of concert and multiple purpose halls, the author introduces a remarkable seat selection system for the analysis of new and existing halls, and proposes a diagnostic system for testing the physical properties and calculating the psychological attributes at any seat after a hall is built. The book also presents a theory of subjective preferences, based on a model of the auditory cognitive system in the brain. Readers can thus follow the temporal and spatial values that may be associated with the left and right cerebral hemispheres in listening to music and speech, respectively, in a room. From the results of calculating subjective preference at each seat, for example, architects, musicians, and acoustical engineers concerned with the design and use of concert and multi-use halls may determine the best location to perform a certain type of music on the stage, as well as the best seats from which to listen.

From results of calculating subjective preference at each seat, for example, architects, musicians, and acoustical engineers concerned with the design and use of concert and multi-use halls may determine the best location to perform a certain type of music on the stage, as well as the best seats from which to listen. These results will also allow designers to optimize the height of the canopy above the stage, and the position of other reflectors to fuse performer and hall sound. At the end of the book such a design theory is described, incorporating temporal and spatial values that may be generalized in physical environmental design.In writing this book, the author has paid special attention to stimulating the left and the right hemispheres of the brain with both text and illustrations. Written at the level of advanced undergraduate students, this book should be of interest not only to acoustical engineers and architects, but also to musicians, acoustical consultants, audio engineers, and sound coordinators of concert halls and theaters, as well as researchers who are interested in fusing science and art. FROM THE REVIEWS: JOURNAL OF THE AUDIO ENGINEERING SOCIETY "In spare prose [the book] presents a useful theory of hearing and the application of this theory in and for performance hall design. It is a useful addition to the library of not only acoustical designers but also architects, musicians, and those who are responsible for approval of proposed performance halls." PHYSICS TODAY "I can highly recommend the book to anybody who is interested in the principles of concert hall acoustics. Readers who wish to explore the subject further will enjoy reading the extensive reference publications, which substantiate the material summarized in the book." portada yoichi.pdf 1 front-matter.pdf 2 fulltext.pdf 15 fulltext (1).pdf 16 fulltext (2).pdf 21 fulltext (3).pdf 40 fulltext (4).pdf 62 fulltext (5).pdf 102 fulltext (6).pdf 123 fulltext (7).pdf 134 fulltext (8).pdf 155 fulltext (9).pdf 189 fulltext (10).pdf 209 fulltext (11).pdf 224 back-matter.pdf 235 portada yoichi.pdf 265
