• Many different surface shapes can scatter sound effectively, but not every surface can scatter sound beautifully. When employed over large areas within performance spaces, reflections off sound diffusive surfaces must maintain much of the timbre of the original signal in order to preserve a sound quality pleasing to both performers and audience members. At the same time, these surfaces must be developed in ways that express the architect’s visual aesthetic of the room. This paper present means of evaluating and optimizing the sound diffusive capabilities of surfaces within performance spaces, from architectural concept through iterative computer modeling processes and ultimately to physical mockups that can be evaluated both objectively and subjectively.
