The large Inside Out Xishan complex was built in 2013 to house a museum as well as an auditorium.

Methodology

Tisseyre + Associés has 40 years of experience in 3D modeling of acoustic phenomena in rooms in operation. 3D modeling by mesh of finite elements from the first stages of the projects, makes it possible to model with finesse all the architectural details. Based on the observation that the acoustics of a room are structuring for its architecture, we have developed a joint working methodology with the architect by basing our solutions on the needs and uses of the space. Thus, we can offer the architect integrated and tailor-made acoustic solutions corresponding to the architectural requirements.

Tasks

Complete acoustic mission of the room

Thanks to our 3D modeling tool, Hall Acoustics®, we can collaborate from the design phase with the architect in order to integrate the acoustic performance of the room into the architecture. Our work therefore does not focus on the dimensioning of a posteriori solutions of acoustic absorbers to attenuate the effects of reverberations. We work with the architect on the choice of shapes and materials used in order to optimize the reverberations so that they contribute to the acoustic performance of the room. The integration of acoustic performance in the architecture of the multi-purpose room has led us to offer tailor-made solutions adapted to the uses and demands of the architects. In particular, we have designed custom-made reflector panels.

Museum acoustics

Thanks to our 3D model tool for spaces in operation, Intelligibility®, we can collaborate from the design phase with the architect in order to integrate acoustic solutions into the architecture of the museum rooms, which is particularly necessary in these large volumes. For the museum in the Inside Out cultural complex, we have proposed tailor-made acoustic solutions to ensure that the guided tours remain intelligible for the visitors benefiting from them, while ensuring that they do not disturb the visit of other users. . Moreover, the soundscapes have been designed so that visitors benefit from an acoustic immersion related to the theme by superimposing sound and visual images.
