Acoustics Considerations in Schools and Restaurants
Date: Tuesday, November 9, 2021
Time: 8:00 – 9:00 AM
Presenters: Ed Crouchley, President, Acoustical Systems and Phil Hooser, Project Manager, Acoustical Systems
Presented via ZOOM conference
Fees: No Charge for AIA members; $10 for Non-AIA
Approved for 1.0 AIA HSW credit
This presentation will discuss acoustical design strategies common to schools, restaurants, and other indoor spaces. These applications include several common acoustic design metrics that apply to new construction projects as well as renovation projects. Sound isolation between adjacent spaces is a critical concern. In schools, sound isolation between classrooms, gymnasium, band rooms, etc. is critical to result in a proper teaching/learning environment. Restaurants can share walls or ceiling/floor partitions with residential units in multi-tenant buildings, making sound isolation critical. Interior acoustics within a space (reverberation and ambient noise) is critical to a proper teaching/learning environment in schools and critical to the client experience in restaurants.
The Zoom conference will open at 7:45 AM . Registrants will be sent the Zoom invitation the day before the seminar.

Finding a Creative Way Around a Bad Highway
From almost the moment it was built, people in Albany have dreamed of getting rid of the city’s waterfront highway.
The concrete spaghetti known as Interstate 787 barrels down the shore of the Hudson River in New York’s capital city, allowing lawmakers and workers in the towering state office complex known as Empire State Plaza to make a swift exit to outlying suburbs or points downstate. By that metric, the highway — built in the early 1960s amid a ruinous spate of urban renewal that transformed the city — has been a great success: Even at rush hour, you would be hard-pressed to see traffic building up along its six lanes.

Architect David Adjaye Wants to Build a Bonkers Upside-Down Skyscraper in Manhattan
Sir David Adjaye wants to flip the script with his next New York highrise.
The Ghanaian-British architect has just unveiled a proposal for an upside-down skyscraper called The Affirmation Tower. The soaring building, which would be located on Manhattan’s west side, would also be one of the city’s tallest building.

Architects transform an airport runway into a gorgeous park
The 12-foot-long strip of concrete running through a new park in Shanghai is one clear remnant of the land’s previous and radically different life. Originally laid in 1948, this line of concrete was once part of a long, flat runway for the city’s Longhua Airport. After it closed in 2011 and a district-scale urban redevelopment project began rising along its edges, the concrete runway went from being a crucial piece of transportation infrastructure to a vast and seemingly useless relic.

Forget Palm Springs—Santa Fe Is the New Mecca for Modern Architecture
The writer Helen Thompson had been a lifelong visitor to Santa Fe, but when she arrived at Georgia O’Keeffe’s home at Ghost Ranch 30 years ago, “I was shocked,” Thompson says. “Everything there was modern: Her furniture was modern; her light fixtures were modern; her art, of course, was modern. And in this rustic setting, the landscape is so powerful, it was all so elemental. That shock stayed with me.”

They turned a one-car garage into a stunning ADU to house their parents
Four years ago, when they were running out of room in their two-bedroom bungalow, Pastor Alvarado and Gennifer Leong-Alvarado went to architects Rebecca Rudolph and Catherine Johnson of Design, Bitches with a proposition. Could they design a multipurpose room that served not just them, but their extended family? As much as they needed space for themselves and their two children — Pastor Lee, 9, and Kika Mei, 4 — they also wanted to accommodate more of the people they love. They had a big extended family that visited regularly from out of state. Pastor wanted “something minimal, with essentials, that we could use as an evolving space.”
