The First Review!

It snowed in Atlanta today! Had to get that excitement out of the way. Apologies for going a bit without any posts, I have been busy researching lots of information on the history of the courthouse/courtroom and performing lots of acoustic tests on the basic room shapes. All of this was necessary to build up a stronger argument and give a "justifiable" point for doing all of this. I even constructed a digital 3D model of Frank Lloyd Wright's Marin Civic Center courtroom. I performed some rudimentary tests on this courtroom's acoustics.

What I found was very interesting...in a nut shell, the space isn't that bad for speech intelligibility. 

Secondly, my other acoustic tests have proven that the circle may not be so bad after all when compared to a square or other shapes. It's more of dealing with "circle side effects"...more on this later. For now, here is a quick video that I made which summarizes the presentation I gave for my first review yesterday (Feb 8), it went well and I received some great feedback!

Here's the boards: 

And here is the video, enjoy! (Might want to set the quality to HD so it is crisp/clear!)
