Popis: | The present study is devoted to the analysis of acoustic quality of educational buildings. Three secondary schools were studied. Children were asked to draw and write how they perceived and evaluated the acoustic environment of their school. A semiotic analysis of graphics and a semantic analysis of verbal reports allow sounds to be identified as cognitive representations: they are mainly represented by sources as elements of a “context”, involving activities, time and locations. A measurement program was carried out, especially in locations where acoustic problems were mentioned. These two perceptive and physical approaches lead to the conclusion that the design process for educational buildings can be treated at different levels: a functional and an organizational level on the one hand, and a physical level on the other. |
