Abstract:
The article presents a research work aimed at studying passive noise control methods applied to cultural spaces in different buildings worldwide. This work identifies application criteria for architectural design on the different methods through a descriptive, qualitative and non-experimental study, based on the scientific documentary review of research papers, relevant books and architectural articles. Evaluation instruments were developed and applied to case studies to obtain theoretical guidelines for architectural design. Five cultural centers were studied, reaching the following conclusions: all objects had the use of (3/12) architectural criteria as a minimum, and the use of (7/12) architectural criteria as a maximum, where the use of spaces with non-parallel walls with irregular angles is the criterion with the greatest impact (80%); in second place, the application of regular volumes with inclined ceilings as a criterion of medium impact (60%) and, thirdly, the use of monumental spaces with double-height ceilings (60%). The study highlights the importance of passive noise control methods when developing volumes and spaces in architectural objects with cultural functions.
