Acoustics+2

media type="file" key="sound2.wav" In a classroom is really important the acoustic comfort of all the people in there. There are important aspects to have in consideration, just like the reverberation time or echo. A classroom should have sufficient space for shelter people sited and space to walk between sits and walls, this aspect can define the principal shape of the room. The shape can be like a square, a rectangle or a circle, even an oval room. The materials used in the room can be mixed and of course should have reflection and absorbing properties such as blocks, concrete or wood. I would conceive the comfort in that space combining elements to improve the better sound quality related to aspects like reverberation or refraction. The space should be ascending from the principal dais with the chalkboard to the top with the last sit, this helps to a better visual relation and a better sound traveling. The floor would be principally made of concrete with a thin wood covering such as walls and of course, the roof, this shape helps to reflect the sound in all the room. Also the principal speaker should be in the center of the dais to amply the sound covering.
