...ACOUSTICS + CONSTRUCTION

By using ripples as an intelligent ornamental strategy, we avoid soundscattering and are able to control acoustics in open spaces. The density in the surface material is crucial to absorb sound and create differentiated spatial-, and therefore acoustical, qualities/experiences. Different contemplative zones = different acoustical experiences...


Ripple strategies;


1; Change material / density by panel

2; Change material / density by ripples

3; Change material / density by debth of ripples (level of ornament = level of acoustical control)
