Methodology

Tisseyre + Associés has 40 years of experience in 3D modeling of acoustic phenomena in rooms in operation. 3D modeling by mesh of finite elements, from the first stages of the projects, makes it possible to model with finesse all the architectural details. Starting from the observation that the acoustics and the sound system of a conference room are structuring for its architecture, we have developed a joint working methodology with the architect by basing our solutions on the needs and uses of the space. Thus, we can offer the architect integrated and tailor-made acoustic solutions adapted to the existing shell volumes and to this heritage building located in the heart of Rabat.

Tasks

Complete acoustic mission of the conference room

Thanks to our 3D room model tool, Hall Acoustics®, we modeled with finesse the architectural details of these spaces in order to fully integrate them into the acoustic performance of the conference room. From then on, we worked together with the architect to offer tailor-made architectural acoustic solutions that meet these requirements:

  • Homogeneity of sound diffusion through these complex volumes;
  • Perfect intelligibility (over 95)

Acoustic model of intelligibility

Custom multimedia and sound system

Our co-design project management work enabled us to design a multimedia system fully integrated into the interior architecture and decoration. Thus, we have developed a very high level multimedia system by equipping the 6 conference rooms with streaming. On the other hand, the control room ensures all the live recordings with 5 booths of interpreters to international standards. Finally, this equipment allows live visual and sound broadcasting on the Moroccan and worldwide television network.
