Knowledge for
Better Room Acoustics
Your Route to TÜV-Certified Expertise
Good indoor acoustics are essential for concentration, speech intelligibility and wellbeing — in offices, learning environments, conference areas and modern workplaces. Micro-perforated stretch ceilings offer a solution that is both high-performing and visually refined.
At the seminar “Sound: Curse and Blessing in Architecture”, you will gain an in-depth understanding of how sound is generated, how it behaves within a space, and how acoustic issues can be resolved in a targeted way. You will also learn how to plan in compliance with relevant standards and how to effectively integrate acoustic solutions into your architectural projects.
Participation earns 9 continuing professional development (CPD) points, recognised by the Chamber of Architects.
