| Sumario: | [EN] The objective of this thesis is to analyse the current state of the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Law of the Universitat de València. This room is used as a lecture hall and for chamber music performances. By measuring in situ the acoustic parameters of the hall the current situation can be analysed. The measurements are performed with an omnidirectional source and 22 receiving points. The measured acoustic parameters are compared to the recommended values, to analyse the current state of the hall. A 3D model is made using AutoCAD2013, the model only consists of 3D-faces. This model is imported in a room acoustics software, Odeon 10.1 Combined. After placing the source and receivers and assigning the materials, the model can be changed to match the reality. By changing the sound absorption coefficients of the materials, the model is adjusted to the measurements in situ. The model is a reliable presentation of the real hall if the results that are simulated by Odeon are the same as the measurements in situ. In the 3D model alterations can be made to improve the hall for a lecture or a chamber music performance. Changes are tested with the recommended values for the acoustical parameters for both usages of the hall. Double-sided tiles with a reflective and absorbent side, together with two movable panels are the proposal to improve the acoustic conditions. When there is a lecture the two movable panels are stored behind the screen and the tiles show the absorbent side. For a chamber music performance the tiles are turned to the reflective side and the two panels are placed on stage. This proposal leads to a significant improvement for both usages of the hall. It is easy to employ and will make a big difference for the experience of the audience. |
