    Versatile Venue: How Can the Acoustics of a Space Be Optimized for Varied Performances?
    (North Dakota State University, 2023) Freborg, Derek
    What are the ideal parameters for designing a concert hall, and how can these be integrated into a versatile venue? This is the main goal this research report aims to solve. Case studies, literature, and simulation help to form a clear thought for design, and venue that can accommodate and maximize acoustical performance of the space. When designing and constructing a performance space there are a wide variety of factors that influence the overall design of the venue. Shape, volume, materials, location, all contribute to the acoustics of space. Each aspect must synchronize with the others to achieve desired acoustics.

    Versatile Venue: How Can the Acoustics of a Space Be Optimized for Varied Performances?
    (North Dakota State University, 2024) Freborg, Derek
    Live music and performance have been an integral part of the entertainment industry for decades. This research focuses on how the live experience can be enhanced, to benefit both the performer and audience. Utilizing historically effective design strategies, material choices, and acoustic comparisons in the design process to create a venue like no other. The hall is designed with the optimization of acoustics in mind. This is focused within un-amplified performance halls which have the capability to transform into amplified halls. Simulations of the halls determined the acoustic capability within each, and what kinds of performances can take place. This allows for more versatility within the space, and more use than one singular venue can offer.
