When designing for an acoustic space, It is important to create wall geometry that both absorbs sound and disperses it evenly in all directions. This design focuses more on the former and is placed at the rear of the theater on both the back wall and ceiling. It is hugely effective in minimizing echo. It absorbs almost all sound.

The tile network is made up of an arrayed grid of shapes that are similar to that of a monopoly house. The top of each shape has 2 voids that allow sound to be absorbed even more efficiently. The shapes also have an alternating pattern in which every other one is rotated 90 degrees. This allows for sound waves to bounce off of the "monopoly roof faces" and into the adjacent voids. This system of rotation allows little sound to escape as you can see in the above image.
