Manuel Melon (Université du Mans - LAUM - UMR 6613 CNRS)09/09/2026, 16:20A04 Education, Public Outreach and History in Acoustics
Discover is an exhibition that aims to introduce the general public to acoustics through iconic vinyl album covers. Each of the 25 panels in the exhibition features the original cover, the cover redesigned to illustrate a particular acoustic phenomenon, and scientific explanations. Each panel comes with an interactive module offering an experience, an audio clip, a video, or an object to...

Teresa Carrascal García (Instituto Eduardo Torroja for Construction Sciences - IETcc-CSIC)09/09/2026, 16:40A04 Education, Public Outreach and History in Acoustics
The design of spaces for music is an inherently interdisciplinary field that affects all stages of the design and construction process, as well as the different technical disciplines involved. While a basic understanding of acoustics is essential, it is equally important to integrate knowledge of structures, building services, lighting, and venue planning.Within the framework of the ATHENS...

Silvin Willemsen (Eindhoven University of Technology)09/09/2026, 17:00A04 Education, Public Outreach and History in Acoustics
Teaching (room) acoustics to (under)graduate students is generally considered a challenge for many reasons. Firstly, acoustics theory is quite technical and mathematical by nature, and is therefore often perceived as quite abstract by many students. Secondly, acoustics theory does not naturally lend itself to visual representations when compared to, for instance, architectural design, or other...

Stefan Weigand (SoundPLAN GmbH)09/09/2026, 17:20A04 Education, Public Outreach and History in Acoustics
Reverberation time is a fundamental room-acoustic parameter and a key target in many acoustic design guidelines. It is influenced by room geometry and the absorption properties of surfaces and furnishings. Understanding sound propagation, absorption, and their impact on reverberation time is essential for teaching the fundamentals of room acoustics. Predicting reverberation time is...
