Résumé

Cet article donne un aperçu de l’historique du développement de l’acoustique architecturale ainsi qu’un échantillon des résultats des derniers projets de recherche. Il existe actuellement des mesures standardisées pour évaluer l’acoustique d’une pièce et des critères relatifs à ces mesures. Pour les pièces réservées à la communication orale, de tels critères ne sont pas très bien définis pour certains groupes d’auditeurs, tels que les très jeunes ou les gens âgés, les malentendants ou ceux qui écoutent un discours dans une langue qui n’est pas la leur. Dans le domaine musical, les caractéristiques acoustiques les plus importantes des salles de concerts sont de mieux en mieux connues, mais il faut améliorer les outils de façon à appliquer ces connaissances à la conception de ces espaces.
