English abstract:
This paper includes the results of empirical
measurements in and computational modeling of
atria. Five atria with different designs were
considered. In each atrium reverberation times and
sound distribution patterns were obtained via
measurements. Subsequently, the spaces were
modeled in a room acoustic simulation application.
The comparison of measurement and simulation
results support the formulation of recommendations
toward a more reliable use of modeling tools for
proper acoustical design and analysis of atria.
