| Abstract |
Although the college gymnasium was the space for students' education and athletic activity only, but in accordance with development of the society, recently its utilization is gradually expanding as a cultural space for the local citizens. However, since most of the old-aged gymnasium was constructed without consideration on the architectural acoustic characteristic that enables to accept diversified purposes. In case of the subject gymnasium, as the finishing materials of broad volume and strong reflectivity were used, a serious acoustic defects whereupon in order to control the vibration state and raise up its clearness, it is urgent situation that optimizing method of the acoustic factor. On such point of view, this study has small-scaled gymnasium where the acoustic defect is arising, and has grasped its architectural acoustic characteristics, then on the basis of this, also compared · analyzed both acoustic characteristics between the surveyed value of before-improvement and the predicted value of after-improvement using acoustic simulation. As a result, at after improvement comparing with before improvement, the purpose of the sports facility together with its function as a multipurpose space with possibility of various public performances have been evaluated as suitable. It is considered that such data could be utilized as the quite useful material for improvement the acoustic performance of the similar gymnasium hereafter at its designing and constructing stage. |
