Espetáculos de Parametrização: Parametrização acústica em espaços de espetáculo

Abstract

This dissertation aims to reflect and experiment on the integration of using methos of informatic programs in the creative and analytical processes of architectural development, specifically in spaces destined to artistical or oratory presentations. For that the Anfiteatro Fernando Távora in FAUP appear as a prime example to use as case study, from the proximity of local to where the work is being developed as well as discussions had by the school community about its acoustical performance. The Aula Magna from Reitoria da Universidade de Lisboa, the Sala Suggia from Casa da Música and the room from Teatro Nacional de São João, are other examples to be considered and studied as a way to better understand the varied hypotheses of typologies used in the construction of show spaces. The use of informatic means makes the whole process faster and more effective, allowing for the creation of non-existing options, an extremely valuable role in the development process of an architectural space. These means allow the making of tridimensional models of very easy manipulation, mainly with the introduction of a parametric constraints, where the shapes are defined by algorithms in which we can create a big number of iterations in a very fast manner. The use of computer programs allows for the execution of acoustical analysis with very narrow margins of error, a process that with be very laborious and slow when executed by physical means without any aid from digital means.
