This research aims to develop a novel approach to performance-driven acoustic design of sound diffusive surfaces. This approach will enable designers to explore and design a plethora of acoustically-informed surfaces without requiring expert knowledge in acoustics.
It focuses on collecting, analysing, and classifying impulse responses from computationally designed and physically prototyped surfaces to build a training set for machine learning applications. A state of the art automated robotic setup (go to the project) was used to create the GIR Dataset, an extensive collection of real impulse responses and three-dimensional diffusive surfaces. Unsupervised machine learning techniques and custom data visualisation methods are used to analyse and explore the GIR Dataset. The outcome of this research aims to simplify the design-simulation-evaluation process, bringing acoustics closer to the architecture practice and enabling more acoustic aware designs.
