Sahne Mekanlarında Akustik Performansın İyileştrilmesi ve Karşılaştırmalı Opera Salonları Örnekleri

Abstract

This master's thesis investigates the determining influence of interior design criteria on achieving optimal acoustic performance and improving existing acoustic deficiencies within stage spaces. The main objective of the study is to analyze the direct correlation between architectural acoustic principles and interior elements such as volume, form, surface materials, and equipment on core performance indicators like reverberation time, sound clarity, and sound distribution. The scope involved establishing the theoretical foundation, followed by deepening the research through comparative case studies of acoustically successful opera houses. The methodology is based on a detailed literature review and the examination of design solutions from selected exemplary venues. The findings reveal the potential for performance improvement and the strategies inherent in the geometric arrangement of the stage space and the specific acoustic materials (absorbent, reflective, diffusive) used on interior surfaces. The thesis emphasizes how interior design interventions can maximize the versatile use of performance spaces by enhancing acoustic quality, and it develops practical design recommendations for architects and interior designers.
