In the last 25 years of worship space acoustics consulting projects (and building on experiences of the 25 years before that), consultants at Acentech have learned many important lessons about these unique and important spaces. Throughout that time period, the evolution of worship style has necessitated thoughtful new design approaches to worship space acoustics. Acentech consultants have learned lessons regarding the complex interplay between support for congregational singing and appropriate reverberation control for contemporary worship music. The equally complex interplay between traditional music and intelligibility of a preacher’s speech has also taught profound and lasting lessons. Silence plays a critical and fundamental role in promoting a contemplative and prayerful environment—another important lesson learned. Using examples from the Acoustical Society’s new Worship Spaces book, this presentation will illustrate practical lessons from these and other projects in Acentech’s recent experience with worship facilities. |
