Worship Space Acoustics is a unique guide to the design,
construction, and use of religious facilities for optimum
acoustics. The book is divided into two parts: Part 1
discusses methods and techniques of room optimization -
how the acoustics of large and small spaces are designed,
implemented, and adjusted, and how acoustical privacy is
attained; noise and its control as well as sound
reinforcement and numerical and physical modeling
techniques. Part 2 provides the architect, student, and
lay-person a review of the characteristics of the
religious services pertinent to various beliefs and how
these are provided for in the acoustic design of spaces
in synagogues, churches, and mosques.
