Tunable Sound Cloud

Tunable Sound Cloud _ responsive ceiling surface from Fishtnk.

Tunable Sound Cloud is a prototype modular ceiling structure designed to enhance the acoustics of lecture halls, music halls, commercial spaces and domestic environments in real-time. By controlling the openings of the acoustic cloud to adjust sound reflection and absorption, today's multi-purpose venues can fine-tune their acoustics to meet the absolute sound requirements for a specific sound performance.

"Interfaced through Grasshopper and Rhino modeling platforms, the ceiling structure of the Tunable Sound Cloud is controlled and adjusted to accommodate different acoustical settings.
Actuated with Arduino micro-controller and servo motors."

Tunable Sound Cloud is the Master’s dissertation project of Mani Mani at Daniels Faculty of Architecture, University of Toronto with Prof. Carol Moukheiber + Prof. Christos Marcopoulos.
