Performing Arts Great acoustics need not be an accident. Yet there is more to acoustical design than the cold application of scientific principles. Acoustical design starts with a sensitivity to the performing arts and blends with it scientific understanding to create special places where transcendent moments happen. Akustiks is dedicated to creating these special places—concert halls that are wondrous instruments, opera houses where performances dazzle the senses, and drama theaters in which the depths of human experience touch the soul. Our projects draw on a wide variety of sources. In-depth studies of pre-20th Century performance spaces form the historical underpinning for our work. Research into music composition and performance practice contributes an appreciation for the symbiotic relationship between music and architecture. Analyses of the latest developments in acoustical science, along with our ongoing theoretical research, lend a cutting-edge aspect to our work. Finally, our own performing and listening experiences offer insights into the creative core of performance itself. The resulting designs are often a synthesis of old and new, time-tested and innovative, each uniquely tailored to the needs of the client. |
