Purpose: To provide students with an in-depth understanding of acoustics, sound behavior, and the application of acoustic materials in interior spaces.
Department: Interior Spaces, Faculty of Architecture
Faculty Guides: Dr. Shraddha Jadhav, Dr. Rahul Honrao

Introduction:

The Department of Interior Spaces at Vishwakarma University, in collaboration with Dellience Enterprises, organized a guest session featuring Mr. Tushar Dastane and Mr. Francis. The session covered acoustics, sound, reverberation, and echo, along with their practical applications in interior design. A live demonstration was conducted in the Journalism & Mass Communication (JMC) Studio, providing students with hands-on experience in acoustic treatments.

Objectives:

• To introduce students to the fundamentals of acoustics.
• To demonstrate the real-world applications of sound behavior in interior spaces.
• To showcase different acoustic materials and their effectiveness.
• To bridge the gap between theory and practical application through live demonstrations.

Activities:

• Lecture on Acoustics – Overview of sound behavior, reverberation, and echo in interior spaces.
• Live Demonstration – Conducted in the Journalism & Mass Communication Studio to observe the impact of acoustic treatments.
• Material Showcase – Dellience Enterprises exhibited various acoustic materials, explaining their properties and applications.

Key Learnings:

• Understanding how sound interacts with different materials and spaces.
• Practical exposure to sound absorption, diffusion, and reflection in real-world scenarios.
• Learning about different acoustic treatment methods used in interior spaces.
• Exploring the importance of acoustics in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing interiors.

Conclusion:

The session provided valuable insights into acoustics and interior design, helping students develop a strong foundation in the subject. The live demonstrations and expert guidance from Dellience Enterprises enhanced their understanding of acoustic materials and design strategies.
