A few weeks ago I did a "Looking Out" post on a woman who took discarded wood, shaped it and made acoustic panels with it. The wood was beautiful, recycled and a conversational piece. The tiles run the length of the long sides of my theaters to create two walls (per theater) of wonderful wooden, acoustic, systems. Although the post was inspiring, I decided on this system because of my overall design had two interlocking rectangles. My project was focused on person to person interactions and how to facilitate those interactions. I hope that having an interesting and varied wall this this would create a topic for strangers to talk about. In addition the wood acts as an excellent acoustic diffuser and absorber of sound. In addition, the wood pieces are different depths which would reflect and absorb the sound differently depending on how much it would protrude into the theater.

Leaving CMU before the 3D printing would finish, I decided to make my own physical model
