"Curating Contemporary Art" Seminar Program
Seminer: Acoustic Comfort in Exhibition Spaces
Speaker: Dr. Ezgi Türk Gürkan
Time: 6:00-7:00 pm
It is inevitable to consider the acoustic aspect in architectural design to ensure user comfort. Spaces with heavy user circulation such as museums and exhibition halls are also included in this requirement. In addition to preventing spaces from being affected by noise, it is necessary to consider room acoustic arrangements in design for visitors to spend time in a comfortable environment and turn their visits into a pleasant experience. The seminar will cover the acoustic comfort requirements in exhibition spaces and the acoustic design principles that need to be followed to meet these requirements, accompanied by general acoustic information.
