Are you a Bathroom Singer\Rockstar ? Do you wonder why your voice sounds great in the Bathroom?

Are you a Bathroom Singer\Rockstar  ? Do you wonder why your voice sounds great in the Bathroom?
Secret Revealed 
Three Basic Concepts 
1. Volume 
               Hard ,smooth surfaces -like bathroom tile -absorb very little sound.Sounds reflect back and forth between the walls of the a shower before dying away .By containing the reflected sound energy in a a small  space ,your shower boosts the sound intensity ,which seems to give your voice more power .
2. Reverb 
               with many reflected sound waves wind up travelling farther than others before finally arriving at your ear .This strecthes out out of the sound you rhear ,an effect called Reverberation,or reverb :your voice seems to hang in the air long ,which makes you feel like a Rockstar Ranbir Kapoor on stage.
3.Bass Boost 
                Your shower especially if its a boxlike cabin-functions as a Resonant cavity ,so naturally it gets amplified and gives you bass tones because of the resonance effect .


Next time when you sing in the bathroom ,thank  the interior designer and the architect making you sound like  a Performer. 

Site map

Why chennai ? why not mumbai \kolkata ?

Why was Kathipara site In Chennai Selected ?why not  mumbai and kolkata ?

The chosen site has one of the highest noise levels in the city and  is not a defined patch of land. Hence it would be a restriction while designing to go with the existing flow of land.

               

A combination of both vertical and horizontal noise makes it difficult to linger here for long periods of time and makes this space unique as this combination is hard to come by.

The zones surrounding the Site  either industrial or commerical in nature. As the design will not cater to the existing context, contrast will be created between context and design which provides an interesting challenge to the design process.              

The Kathipara junction has developed into a landmark to people both from Chennai as well as outsiders. This potential can be developed and manipulated to make it a tourist attraction.

The increasing residential character of the area brings up the need to introduce a public space which is further amplified by its unparalleled accessibility from other parts of Chennai.            

                Due to the presence of a wide variety of sounds it will serve as a source for the variety of research based programs that might be housed in the complex .

The presence of 3 dimensional aural environment in Kathipara _Chennai _India helps us to experiment Architecture with Sound           

               

               

3 Basic Principles of Sound

Principles Of Sound:

When sound waves strikes an object, it encounters one of three possible outcomes:

Reflection- Where sound waves bounce back.

Absorption- When the waves pass through the obstacle itself.

Diffusion- The scattering of sound waves due to impact is referred to as diffusion.
