- Abstract
- This paper presents the most important conclusions of the acoustic study made in the Auditorium of the Manuel de Falla Centre in Granada (Spain). This auditorium works. In the context of the concert rooms in Spain, its position is emblematic because it acts as a starting point in the modern conception of these halls. This paper is divided into two parts: was built by the architect José María García de Paredes in 1978 and reopened in 1987, making it one of his most important and beloved • Description of the project progress up to the final construction of the auditorium: preliminary references of musical rooms, first sketches and blueprints, the evolution of the construction project from the moment the architect comes in touch with the acoustical consultant Lothar Cremer, as well as the changes made in the room in its reopening are analyzed. • Presentation of the acoustic simulation results: sound rays trajectories from the source to the receivers are analyzed and the acoustic parameters that define its sound quality are evaluated using the CATT Acoustic software.
