It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that the physicist Wallace Clement Sabine developed his theory of reverberation, which has remained fundamental to architectural acoustics to this day, and has subsequently been applied to many building types, especially those for the performing arts. Yet the practice of architectural acoustics goes back much further with the impressive designs of the Greeks proving highly influential. This comprehensive book explores the development of acoustics in architectural design from the theatres of Classical Greece, through the early development of opera houses, concert halls and theatres, to the research work of Sabine and his successors and its influence on twentieth- and twenty-first-century buildings. Topics covered include: the fundamentals of acoustics; the influential legacy of the Greeks and Romans; the evolving design of opera houses, theatres and concert halls and, finally, the acoustics of schools, music schools and recital halls.

Raf Orlowski is Director of Acoustics at the consulting firm Ramboll and also a Visiting Professor at the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London. Following research into auditorium acoustics he entered into acoustic consultancy where he has been involved in the acoustic design of concert halls, opera houses, theatres and schools. In 2019, he was awarded the R.W.B. Stephens Medal of the Institute of Acoustics for his contributions to research and teaching.
