Abstract

This thesis will examine the role of sound in the architectural experience by asking how architecture can improve the standing of sound in the designed environment. Possible solutions are subsequently explored through the design of a 75,000 sq. ft. acoustical research laboratory in Rochester, Minnesota. The project’s theoretical premise/unifying idea is: As an interaction with the built environment, the anticipated perception of sound can be used to guide and inform the process of architectural design. The project’s justification is: Sound is a powerful shaper of space.
