Abstract:
This paper aims to fill the gap between the endless possibilities of the parametric design process and the detailed acoustic analyses. The developed methodology consists of custom parametric algorithms that explore the variations of possible interior implementations based on material properties, geometrical formations, and positions in the room, that intend to optimize the acoustic response of the space. The proposed methodology assists the design process at a very early phase and explores many diverse options. In the first stage, all the variations are evaluated in Pachyderm for rapid feedback and to reduce the possibilities for further analysis. The second stage is a detailed evaluation of the first design selection in Odeon and choosing the best design proposal from the generated. The implemented parametric approach is described, and the final approved design evaluations are presented.
