The acoustics of dwellings and offices greatly affects the quality of our life, since we are all consciously or subconsciously aware of the sounds to which we are daily subjected. Architectural acoustics, which encompasses room and building acoustics, is the scientific field that deals with these topics and can be defined as the study of generation, propagation, and effects of sound in enclosures. Modeling techniques, as well as related acoustic theories for accurately calculating the sound field, have been the center of many major new developments. In addition, the image conveyed by a purely physical description of sound would be incomplete without regarding human perception; hence, the interrelation between objective stimuli and subjective sensations is a field of important investigations. A holistic approach in terms of research and practice is the optimum way for solving the perplexing problems which arise in the design or refurbishment of spaces, since current trends in contemporary architecture, such as transparency, openness, and preference for bare sound-reflecting surfaces are continuing pushing the very limits of functional acoustics. All the advances in architectural acoustics gathered in this Special Issue, we hope that inspire researchers and acousticians to explore new directions in this age of scientific convergence.Mathematics and SciencebicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscabsorptionacoustic heritageacoustic measurementsacoustic parametersacoustic subspacesacoustical parametersacousticsacoustics simulationairflow resistivityarchaeo-acousticsauralizationbuilding acousticscalculation modelscoherent image source methodconcert hall acousticsdiffusers locationdiffusive surfacesdirectional decay ratesdiscretization errordodecahedroneigenbeam processingexplicit methodFDTD simulationfinite element methodfirecrackersfrequency domainhigh order schemeimpulse response measurementsintangible cultural heritageISO 3382ISO 3382-1ISO 3382-3lateral reflectionslong spacemechanismmicro-perforated panelsn/aoffice noiseomnidirectional sourceopen-air ancient theatresopen-plan officesopera houseperception thresholdsperforated panelsprediction modelsPUFEMreflection powerreflection sequenceresonant absorbersreverberation timeroom absorptionroom acoustic simulationsroom acousticsroom modesroom responsescale-model experimentscatteringseat dip effectseat heightseat spacingshoebox concert hallshoebox typologyskeletal reflectionssound absorptionsound absorption coefficientsound field modelingsound sourcesound-absorbing boundaryspatial correlationspatial decayspatial impressionspeechspeech intelligibilitysubjective investigationsupervised learning methodtime domainvariable acousticswave-based methodworship space acousticsMathematics and ScienceResearch and information: generalPapadakis Nikolaos Medt1328208Garai MassimoedtGeorgios StavroulakisedtPapadakis Nikolaos MothGarai MassimoothGeorgios StavroulakisothBOOK9910580206703321Advances in Architectural Acoustics3038428UNINA
