Echo

Acoustical Tube Wall

The project responds to the workspaces at RMIT University, Design Hub. User experience was considered key.

The brief was to confine sound within a functional meeting space. The delivered outcome was more than just a spatial expression of sound into a visual and artistic experience of sound. Cardboard tubes were used for the final deliverable considering qualities like sustainability, shape, sound reflection, and absorption coefficients.

It is functional, sustainable, experiential, artistic, acoustical, economical, recyclable, aesthetic, and complex. 

The technology used includes Pachyderm Acoustics for sound simulation and form derivation, Rhino and Grasshopper to design, model and prototype, and fabrication.
