The acoustical effects of spaces are one of the essential components for architects to consider, whether they are designing specifically acoustical spaces such as auditoria or accounting for the effects of sound in classrooms, conference rooms, or living rooms. This is an innovation in the explanation and practice of acoustical design in that it allows sounds to be "previewed" as they would actually be heard in a given space. It consists of two CD-ROMs: the first presents the principles of acoustics and how sound functions in indoor and outdoor spaces; the second allows the user to evaluate how different kinds of sounds are heard in outdoor and indoor spaces. Together, they provide a resource for designing with sound effects in mind.
