Aileena Gray: Best Final Assignment Ever!

I did not create small modular tiles for the acoustics within the theaters. Instead I created large (somewhat) modular pieces that act as both one whole surface and individual-pair hubs of vibration. Similar to the effect of cupping ones hands around your ears, the curved surface redirects the vibrations closer to the outsides of the curve/furthest away from the deepest point of the curve; this is the (attempted) nature of these wall partitions. The climax of each arch correspond to a tier of three sweet spot rows (the ones that typically get filled first) that in theory make for good listening. The extensions of the curves create overlap and effectively muffle the vibrations allowing for minimal disturbances as people walk in and our of the theater.
