Abstract

This paper aims to enhance students' comprehensive practical abilities in the field of architectural acoustics through teaching reforms, especially in terms of how to effectively apply acoustic knowledge to the entire process of site planning and architectural design. In response to the disconnect between theory and practice in traditional architectural physics courses, this paper proposes the introduction of a combined experimental teaching model that integrates field noise measurement and simulation. Through this model, students can not only master the basic theories and principles of architectural acoustics but also deeply understand the impact of noise on the functional quality and environmental quality of architectural spaces through on-site noise monitoring and digital simulation technologies. The course content covers noise control and management from the early stages of building planning, design optimization, to later stages of building renovation, with a focus on the application of architectural acoustic simulation techniques in practical design. This approach not only helps students improve their practical application of architectural acoustics knowledge but also cultivates their ability to address noise issues effectively during the design process, ultimately promoting the organic integration of architectural design and environmental sustainability. The teaching reform proposal put forward in this paper seeks to enhance students' ability to solve practical problems by combining theory and experimentation and provide theoretical and technical support for acoustic optimization in future architectural designs.
