Room Acoustics

Room Acoustics

Well established as a classic reference and specialised textbook since its first publication in 1973 Heinrich Kuttruff’s Room Acoustics combines detailed coverage with a state of art presentation of the theory and practice of sound behaviour in closed spaces. This sixth edition presents several additional new sections for instance on the reflection of a spherical wave from a wall on finite element methods for sound field calculation and on virtual reality as well as giving an overhaul of the standard material. Particular emphasis is given to the properties and calculation of reverberation the most obvious acoustical feature of a room. And further key topics include the various mechanisms of sound absorption and their practical application as well as scattering by wall irregularities including pseudo-stochastic structures. Extensive space is given to of psychoacoustic insights and the quality criteria derived from them along with new procedures for the sensory assessment of concert hall acoustics. As in earlier editions one full and updated chapter is devoted to the design and performance of electroacoustic systems which nowadays is not just a method for sound amplification but offers many possibilities for correcting acoustic deficiencies and modifying a hall’s natural acoustics.

The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium

The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium

Thousands of intact ceramic bowls and plates as well as fragments made in the medieval Byzantine empire survive to this day. Decorated with figural and non-figural imagery applied in a variety of techniques and adorned with colourful paints and glazes the vessels can tell us much about those who owned them and those who looked at them. In addition to innumerable ceramic vessels a handful of precious metal bowls and plates survive from the period. Together these objects make up the art of dining in medieval Byzantium. This art of dining was effervescent at turns irreverent and deadly serious visually stunning and fun. It is suggestive of ways in which those viewing the objects used a quotidian and biologically necessary (f)act – that of eating – to reflect on their lives and deaths their aspirations and their realities. This book examines the ceramic and metal vessels in terms of the information offered on the foods eaten the foods desired and their status; the spectacle of the banquet; the relationship between word and image in medieval Byzantium; the dangers of taste; the emergence of new moral and social ideals; and the use of dining as a tool in constructing and enforcing hierarchy. This book is of appeal to scholarly and non-scholarly audiences interested in the art and material culture of the medieval period and in the social history of food and eating.

Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture The Relational Space of the Consulting Room Through the Senses

Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture The Relational Space of the Consulting Room Through the Senses

Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture explores the multisensory space of therapy real or virtual and how important it is in providing the container for the therapeutic relationship and process. This book is highly original in bringing psychoanalysis and architecture together and highlighting how both disciplines strive to achieve transformation of our psychic space. It brings together contributions that comprise three parts: the first explores the space of the consulting room through the senses to examine issues such as smell and its link with memory and belonging hearing out the Other the psychoanalytic couch the medical therapy room and the so-called sixth sense; secondly the book questions how the consulting room can represent or be redesigned to reflect the philosophy that underlies the therapy process foregrounding an architectural point of view; and thirdly the book attends to the significance of the consulting room as a virtual space as it emerged during the pandemic of COVID-19 and beyond. Architectural psychotherapeutic and interdisciplinary perspectives allow for an important new dimension on the psychological use of space and will appeal to psychoanalysts psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapists art therapists students of psychotherapy as well as architects and designers. | Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture The Relational Space of the Consulting Room Through the Senses

Restaurants and Dining Rooms

Restaurants and Dining Rooms

According to urban academic myth the first restaurants emerged in the wake of the French Revolution. From the very beginning in the elegant salons of the latter days of the Ancien Régime the design of restaurants has been closely related to ideas of how food should be presented and how it may be consumed in public. The appearance and atmosphere created by restaurant owners reflects culturally embedded ideals of comfort sociability and the good life. As a product of the modern metropolis the restaurant encapsulates and illustrates the profound change in how its patrons viewed themselves as individuals how they used their cities and how they met friends or business partners over a meal. The architectural design of environments for the consumption of food necessarily involves an exploration and a manipulation of the human experience of space. It reflects ideas about public and private behaviour for which the restaurant offers a stage. Famous architects were commissioned to provide designs for restaurants in order to lure in an ever more demanding urban clientele. The interior designs of restaurants were often employed to present this particular aspect in consciously evoking an imagery of sophisticated modernity. This book presents the restaurant its cultural and typological history as it evolved over time. In this unique combination it provides valuable knowledge for designers and students of design and for everyone interested in the cultural history of the modern metropolis. | Restaurants and Dining Rooms

Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Lying in the Dark Room: Architectures of British Maternity returns to and reflects on the spatial and architectural experience of childbirth through both a critical history of maternity spaces and a creative exploration of those we use today. Where conventional architectural histories objectify buildings (in parallel with the objectification of the maternal body) the book—in the mode of creative practice research—presents a creative-critical autotheory of the architecture of lying-in. It uses feminist subjective modes of thinking that travel across disciplines registers and arguments. The book assesses the transformation of maternity spaces—from the female bedchamber of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century marital homes to the lying-in hospitals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries purposely built by man-midwives to the late twentieth-century spaces of home and the modern hospital maternity wing—and the parallel shifts in maternal practices. The spaces are not treated as mute or neutral backdrops to maternal history but as a series of vital entangled atmospheres materials practices and objects that are produced by and in turn produce particular social and political conditions gendered structures and experiences. Moving across spaces systems protagonists and their subjectivities the book shows how hospital design and protocol altered ordinary birth at home and continues to shape maternal spatial experience today. As such it will be of interest to a wide range of readers from architectural historians theoreticians designers and students to medical humanities historians to English Literature humanities and material studies scholars as well as those interested in creative-critical writing. | Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Making Room for the Disavowed Reclaiming the Self in Psychotherapy

Making Room for the Disavowed Reclaiming the Self in Psychotherapy

In this uniquely integrative book Paul L. Wachtel describes powerful clinical strategies to make roomfor aspects of the self that were sidetracked in the course of development. Wachtel explores how early attachment experiences can lead people to turn away from certain thoughts and feelings building a sense of self and ways of interacting on only a limited range of adaptive resources. His approach draws on psychodynamic humanistic systemic and acceptance-centered cognitive-behavioral perspectives as well as attention to the impact of race class and culture. Filled with rich case material the book illuminates how a therapeutic approach anchored in the present can help heal the wounds of the past. | Making Room for the Disavowed Reclaiming the Self in Psychotherapy

Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

In this follow-up to Law and the Beautiful Soul Alan Norrie addresses the split between legal and ethical judgment. Shaped by history law’s formalism both eschews and requires ethics. The first essays consider legal form in its practical aspect and the ethical problems encountered (‘law’s architectonic’). The later essays look at the complex underlying relation between law and ethics (‘law’s constellation’). In Hegel’s philosophy legal and ethical judgment are brought together in a rational totality. Here the synthesis remains unachieved the dialectic systematically ‘broken’. These essays cover such issues as criminal law’s ‘general part’ homicide reform self-defence euthanasia and war guilt. They interrogate legal problems consider law’s method and its place in the social whole. The analysis of law’s historicity its formalism and its relation to ethics contributes importantly to central questions in law legal theory and criminal justice. | Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

Norway’s EU Experience and Lessons for the UK On Autonomy and Wriggle Room

Norway’s EU Experience and Lessons for the UK On Autonomy and Wriggle Room

This book examines Norway’s affiliation to the EU and systematically assesses the potential suitability of this arrangement for the UK as a viable EU affiliation post-Brexit. Framing the book within the framework of the broader European context the authors ask how much autonomy and room to manoeuvre tightly integrated non-member states have under this arrangement. They present an in-depth assessment of Norway’s close EU affiliation and provide insight into what this may reveal to us about the post-Brexit European political order. The book’s analytical framework centred on autonomy under complex interdependence has relevance well beyond the confines of the Norway case. This includes the UK not least since the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) leaves considerable uncertainty. It contains transitory elements; there will be implementation reviews and there may be many more bilateral and multilateral agreements before the trade relationship is fully defined. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European Union politics Norwegian politics British politics European integration and more broadly to European studies and international relations. | Norway’s EU Experience and Lessons for the UK On Autonomy and Wriggle Room

Coming to Life in the Consulting Room Toward a New Analytic Sensibility

Coming to Life in the Consulting Room Toward a New Analytic Sensibility

Ogden sets out a movement in contemporary psychoanalysis toward a new sensibility reflecting a shift in emphasis from what he calls epistemological psychoanalysis (having to do with knowing and understanding) to ontological psychoanalysis (having to do with being and becoming). Ogden clinically illustrates his way of dreaming the analytic session and of inventing psychoanalysis with each patient. Using the works of Winnicott and Bion he finds a turn in the analytic conception of mind from conceiving of it as a thing—a mental apparatus—to viewing mind as a living process located in the very act of experiencing. Ogden closes the volume with discussions of being and becoming that occur in reading the poetry of Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson and in the practice of analytic writing. This book will be of great interest not only to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in the shift in analytic theory and practice Ogden describes but also to those interested in ideas concerning the way the mind and human experiencing are created. | Coming to Life in the Consulting Room Toward a New Analytic Sensibility

The Elephant in the Room Engaging with the Unsaid in Groups and Organizations

The Elephant in the Room Engaging with the Unsaid in Groups and Organizations

A group is working on a business challenge. The group members are under pressure. They have a lot to accomplish and a limited amount of time. After first attempting to develop an overview of their common task they try to make a plan to ensure an efficient group process. The planning is proving difficult. We’ve all been there. We are in a working group or at a meeting discussing a topic or a challenge and all the while as a separate track running underneath our conversation there is a subtext that no one explicitly addresses. This is an example of ‘the elephant in the room. ’ Most of us notice the elephant it gets in the way and it’s difficult to deal with until someone points at it and says ‘There it is let’s take a look at it and reduce its impact. ’ With an engaging use of examples and questions the book addresses how we can best deal with the elephant and thus promote job satisfaction creativity and productivity. In the context of action what we notice often recedes into the background and gradually slips out of focus until we eventually reconnect with our need to reflect and recreate a space for it. This book addresses the challenge of focusing on holding on to and acting on what we notice ‘in the middle of it all. ’ Maintaining a simultaneous focus on task and process – what we do and what we notice – is what I define as ‘double awareness. ’ Double awareness is not only a core capacity but also a core challenge. The aim of the book is to promote understanding and awareness of this core challenge and to inspire both reflection and action in anyone wishing to improve their capacity for double awareness. How can we define and understand the practice of mindful avoidance? And can we as members of groups and organizations begin to practice mindful action by engaging in and acting on what we notice in real time? | The Elephant in the Room Engaging with the Unsaid in Groups and Organizations

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Much time is spent working out how to optimize the acoustics of large rooms such as auditoria but the acoustics of small rooms and environments can be just as vital. The expensive sound equipment of a recording studio or the stereo in a car or living room is likewise rendered useless if the acoustic environment is not right for them. Changes in wavelength to room size ratio and the time difference between the direct and reflected sound at the listening location mean that the acoustics of small spaces are quite different to those of large spaces. Tackling these specific aspects of physics sound perception and applications for small spaces Acoustics of Small Rooms brings together important facets of small room acoustics. Divided into clear sections it covers: Sound propagation—the effects of boundaries sound absorbers and time conditions Physiology and psychoacoustics Methods and techniques of room and sound field optimization Examples of how these principles apply in real situations Measurement and modeling techniques
