Architecturalacoustics: The forgottendimension. Ewart A. Wetherill (Wilson, lhrig, and Associates, lnc., 5776 Broadway,Oakland, CA 94618) The basic considerationsof architeclural acouslics---isolation from unwanled noise and vibration, control of mechanicalsystem noise, and room acousticsdesign---are all clearly exemplifiedin Sabinc'sdesign for BostonSymphony Hall. Openedin ! 900,this hall isone of theoutstanding successes in musical acoustics. Yet, aswe approachthe hundredthanniversary of Sabine'sfirst experiments, acoustical characteristics remain one of the leastconsidered aspects of buildingdesign. This is due, in part, to the difficultyof visualizingthe acouslicaloutcome of designdecisions, complicated by individualjudgment as to whatconstitutes good acous- tics. However,the lack of a comprehensiveteaching program remains the dominantproblem. Significant advancesover the past 2 or 3 decadesin measurementand evaluationhave refinedthe ability to design predictabilityand to demonsIrateacoustical concerns to others. New techniquessuch as sound intensity measurements,new descriptors for roomacoustics phenomena, and the refinemen t of recording,analysis, and amplificationtechniques provide fresh insights into the behaviorof soundin air and other media.These topics are reviewedwith particularemphasis on the needfor a comparableadvance in translationof acousticprinci- plesinto buildingtechnologies.

  • Ce Qu'il Y a De Plus Profond Dans L'homme, C'est La Peau∗ (L'idée Fixe
    Ce qu’il y a de plus profond dans l’homme, c’est la peau∗ (L’idée fixe, Paul Valery) ∗ O que há de mais profundo no homem é a pele. 4 Tirando a pele dos body mods: por dentro da movimentação, a movimentação por dentro Neste capítulo é traçado um quadro geral por meio do qual se delineia o panorama underground da subcultura da BM, no âmbito das novas dimensões e potencialidades que o corpo pode alcançar no universo contemporâneo da cultura corporal. A abordagem gira em torno da incorporação dos valores individualistas, “cujo vetor impulsiona a busca pelo singular enquanto uma exigência imperativa manifesta em um discurso de valorização da autonomia dos sujeitos” (COUTINHO, 2004:15). As linhas que contornam o quadro aqui apresentado são traçadas a partir dos dados coletados através de um trabalho etnográfico realizado na cidade de São Paulo com os integrantes da BM, durante aproximadamente três anos. O eixo converge sobre as práticas e discursos promovidos pelos body mods paulistas que adotam uma postura política de vanguarda em relação a BM, conforme já explicado anteriormente. Fundamentam-se, assim, no princípio filosófico da autonomia dos corpos segundo uma perspectiva sócio-antropológica desnaturalizante do corpo. Impulsionados pelas práticas oferecidas pela BM, os body mods paulistas atuam como bricoleurs. Apropriando-se dos materiais que estão ao alcance, reinventam aparência física, a partir de projetos autorais. Nesse sentido, a posse do saber biomédico e das biotecnologias médicas é feita com o objetivo explícito de questionar social e politicamente os processos de normatização do corpo. Logo, as tecnologias fomentam no sujeito, segundo Pitts 129 (2003:13), o sentimento de poder de ação simbólica sobre o próprio corpo e sua origem, à medida que promove a sua customização radical.

  • The Simonton Literary Prize on Robert Hope-Jones. Awarded to D. Hyde at the 2007 A.T.O.S
    The Simonton Literary Prize was established in honour if Richard Simonton who was a founder of the American Theater Organ Enthusiasts, which eventually became known as the American Theatre Organ Society (A.T.O.S.) The purpose of the prize is to encourage and reward original research and writing in the area of theatre organ history, restoration and conversation. The work of Don Hyde, chairman of the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust, on the new research into Hope-Jones and the people he has made contact with has entered new grounds in the history associated with theatre organs This, plus a little bit of arm twisting resulted in Don writing this paper which was submitted for the Simonton prize in 2007. The prize was awarded to Don Hyde at the American Theatre Organ Society Convention in New York in 2007. The purpose of this paper is to record the recent research that has been carried out into the world of Robert Hope-Jones and the people who lived and worked in his environment and whom he met during the course of some of the work he did during his organ manufacturing time in Great Britain before he emigrated to the United States. The Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust has been troubled for some time that almost all of the original pipe organs built in Britain by Hope- Jones have been totally rebuilt, dramatically modified over the years by various organ builders, or have been scrapped. Since its foundation in 1968 the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust has been acutely aware of its close proximity to the birthplace of Robert Hope-Jones and to the area at Birkenhead on the Wirral in Cheshire where he started his ground breaking work on pipe organs.

Higini Arau ͑Travesera de Dalt, 118, 08024 Barcelona, Spain, [email protected]͒ Teatro alla Scala of Milan, known simply as La Scala throughout the world, is an old but venerable opera house that achieved legendary status in the world of music. A great number of singers of Olympian status have sung there; and major operas, among them Verdi’s Falstaff and Otello and Puccini’s Turandot, premiered there. The 227-year-old theater is beloved with a passion by the Milanese and the Italians, but it has suffered the ravages of time. It needed to be renovated in order to reverse material decay, meet current fire codes and security requirements, incorporate a new HVAC system, and to accommodate badly needed modern stage machinery. This renovation project took 3 years during which the theater was closed, and it included the construction of an elliptical 17-floor fly tower, designed by architect Mario Botta, for housing rehearsal rooms and serving as a scenery changing facility. The renovation proposal originally aroused a strong sense of melodrama among the extremely excitable Italian opera buffs who feared the desecration of their beloved edifice, but the acoustics and the beauty ͑carried out by Elisabetta Fabbri Architect͒ of the auditorium were preserved ͑and even enhanced͒.

Research Study Title: Highway Planning and Operations for the Dallas District, Phase III 16. Abstract The potential environmental impact of noise pollution from highway facilities has become a difficult problem to solve for the TxDOT planners and design engineers. Noise mitigation for projects can greatly increase their costs and public opposition. Additional right-of-way acquisition in urban areas is often cost prohibitive which limits design alternatives. Highway noise walls are a design solution that fits most transportation agency needs. The research is focused upon a survey of practice sent to all state transportation agencies, Puerto Rico, and Ontario, Canada to determine their success and failures with noise abatement design issues such as policy, material selection, maintenance, aesthetics, acoustics, community participation and construction.
