Abstract

Environmental comfort of public spaces is a result of balanced combination of varied factors, like: architectural geometry of form, space arrangement of equipment, furnishing and finishing, as well as selection of materials, with their texture, surface treatment or color. Full spectrum of these elements allow architects to formulate a proper functionality, usage and safety of interiors. On the other level of perception, this mixture gives a proper character and atmosphere of public areas in a hotel. However, aforementioned collage of factors is used to build proper architectural acoustic parameters of sound filed and may be used to positively influence condition of guests. Thus, this article was devoted to presentation of results of research on sound field connection to architectural design of space.
