Keys To Improve Architectural Acoustics: Sound Absorption and Diffusion
![Keys To Improve Architectural Acoustics: Sound Absorption and Diffusion - Image 6 of 4](https://images.adsttc.com/media/images/5caf/8cb8/284d/d1e5/fc00/040f/newsletter/ASI-1.jpg?1555008689)
"Acoustics" in architecture means improving sound in environments. Although it is a complex science, understanding the basics - and making efficient and effective decisions - is much easier than you might think. The first step is to understand that there are two technical categories used in acoustics: soundproofing and acoustical treatment. Soundproofing means "less noise" and treatment, "better sound".

“When there is a convergence of crises, like we have now, there needs to be a convergence of solutions,” argued Christiana Figueres, former executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), at the 2020 GreenBuild conference. These solutions need to be net-zero in terms of energy and greenhouse gas emissions, regenerative, and reconnect humanity to nature. And while progress towards these solutions is now “irreversible,” we need to move much faster towards a net-zero world.

How To Calculate How Much Wallpaper You Need
![How To Calculate How Much Wallpaper You Need - Image 4 of 4](https://images.adsttc.com/media/images/5d51/7a7b/284d/d1d5/e200/0824/newsletter/190323_Izaskun_Chinchilla_Utopicus_BCN_041.jpg?1565620851)
Once the construction of an architecture project is finished, it's time to install the claddings that will make up the visible faces of the interior spaces. Wallpaper –an efficient way to bring color and design into rooms – is generally specified according to the square meters we want to cover, so we must start by calculating the area of each surface with great precision.
This task can be easy on clear walls with standard dimensions, but it can generate mishaps or unnecessary expenses in more complex designs. We present some tips to make an estimate as accurate and efficient as possible.
