Algorithmic Variations of Acoustic Materials and Shapes Implementation in the Interior Space for Room Acoustics Optimization

This study aims to fill the gap between the endless possibilities of the parametric design process and the detailed acoustic analyses. The developed methodology consists of a custom parametric algorithm that explores the variations of possible interior implementations based on material properties, geometrical formations, and positions in the room to optimize the acoustic response of the space. The proposed methodology assists the design process in the very early phase and explores diverse options. In the first stage, all variations are evaluated in Pachyderm for rapid feedback and to reduce the possibilities for further analysis. The second stage was a detailed evaluation of the first design selection in Odeon and the selection of the best design proposal from the generated. The implemented parametric approach is described, and the final approved design evaluations are presented.
