Alexa Roberts Best Final Assignment Ever

 My acoustic tile consists of a curved surface with punctures that is then replicated to create a chamber in between them which then bounces back the sound to the theater. Upon doing some research, I decided to make the tile out of wood. Wood provides much less in the way of sound isolation than masonry because it is much less dense. Plywood comes in varying densities and can contribute something to the equation in a multi-layer wall such as mine. The main reason why I chose wood was because of its ability to reflect sound in a very pleasing way. It is a useful material for sound treatment. Since wood resonates easily, it has a way of absorbing some of the sound energy as it vibrates, letting some of the sound back from whence it came.









These renders and exploded perspective diagram show how I plan to attach the tile to the surface behind it. this bent wood would be attached with bolts at each end (2 for each tile, this contains three tiles vertically). Lastly, these are some precedents that I looked to during my research and design process:
