Reducing negative impact of sound on human in an event center through passive design strategies
Abstract
An "event center" is any publicly or privately owned building with more than 50,000 square feet or 5,000 seats that is utilized for public performances, athletic events, corporate meetings, or similar gatherings. This study investigates the critical significance of an event centers in the society, which operate as hubs for social, and recreational activities. The study focuses on passive strategies to reduce the negative impact of sound on human in these settings. Addressing the evolving needs of users, the research emphasizes the importance of reevaluating the design and functionality of event centers. Drawing on global literature, including studies in Nigeria, the research underscores the significance of culturally sensitive design and sustainability practices. The literature review establishes a foundation for the mixed-methods approach, combining literature analysis. Key findings highlight the crucial role of building material, shape of building, height of building in enhancing acoustic comfort.
