In this section we would like to introduce some standard concepts, tools and metodologies to alter sound diffusion in space or combine absorbance and sound diffusion in different architectural contexts.

Invisible sound diffusion

Enbedding sound emitters in furnitures or inside light architectural materials - like plaster walls and ceilings - allow us to reduce the risk of juxtaposing additional shapes to the architectural design.

Retailing center FOLLI FOLLIE, Bologna (IT). Designed by Architetto Baciocchi & Associati, 2006. Sonorous furnitures, sonorous/vibrating sofas and parfumes shelves spreading sonic foams and steams. Invisible Sound Emitters and Experience Design by Lorenzo Brusci/Giardino Sonoro.

Space partitioning surfaces

Dividing and re-orientating uncontrolled reverberant and multi-reflecting spaces. Using conventional and customized shapes, prototyping and testing experimental materials and accurate spacial locations.

Designing absorbing and sound emitting surfaces

The usage of standard absorbing materials combined with sound emitting materials/modules can provide high flexibility in both permormance-multimedia spaces and public spaces - noisy restaurants, noisy railwaystations and airports, schools.
