摘要

The ceiling of the social hub, comprised of perforated 16-gauge steel panels backed with acoustic insulation, provides an acoustically absorptive ceiling for a room that accommodates a wide range of uses that require sound control. The geometry of the ceiling wraps tightly to the existing Journalism School building to increase ceiling height where possible. The perforation pattern was developed through a two-phase process: first, an acoustic model of the space was developed to drive the density of perforations, and a second subsequent scripting process integrated geometry, lighting and sprinkler layout within the pattern generation.
