I spoke with an acoustian-auditorium designer the other day to get the 411 on music performance halls. Since I'm designing for a space that will be used for amplified music, the materials have to become more massive to mitigate the lower sound frequencies. Which means a lot of concrete. Even in the example he gave of Allen Hall in New York where some use of a glass curtain wall was employed, the glass was minimal, located high up the wall, and included two pieces of glass with a 3 foot air gap to dampen the frequencies. Shit. I don't want to make the concrete black box of death but I don't want ugly details and wasted space just to make the space more light and transparent.
Furthermore, the consultant gave me some good advise to my approach on the programming for this college of music that I'm designing. Next up. Setting the number of potential students for this theoretical school of music and then programming around their needs.
