Acoustics+2

When we design, we have to be really conscious  about all the elements that are going to change the development of the building that we are designing. Being specific, in a library we have to take into account a few particular considerations. A library should be comfortable, pleasant, spacious, lit up, and quiet.

To achieve acoustic comfort in a library for 300 students we have to use the right elements and materials. The floors have to be made in carpet, fabrics, cork or another sound absorbent material. The windows should be doubles to decrease the external noise. The use of the correct furniture it’s very important, and we can use cubicles or booth. Also, we should separate the different halls of the library taking into account there are some spaces that generates more noise than others, and group them the by similar uses.
