Year

Construction in progress

The renovation of the Academy of the Kingdom of Morocco was mainly aimed at improving the acoustic performance of the conference and performance halls and adapting the multimedia and sound solutions to new needs and uses. Indeed, following the attachment of the arts of painting, music, theater and cinema in particular, the needs for stage equipment have evolved.

Methodology

Tisseyre + Associés has 40 years of experience in the acoustics of performance halls, its core business originally. 30 years ago, anticipating the digital revolution and 3D visualization, we developed a tool for 3D models of performance halls: Hall Acoustics®. Instead of using the sound ray shooting technique which does not take into account the architectural details, we use the finite element mesh technique which allows these details to be modeled with finesse in order to fully integrate them into the acoustic performance. of the room from its conception. Based on the observation that the acoustics and sound system of a conference room are structuring for its architecture, we have developed a methodology for joint work with the architect.

Tasks

Complete acoustic mission of the multipurpose room

This room now accommodates many uses. Indeed, it serves both as a conference room, concerts, cinema or theater in particular. 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 multipurpose room. From then on, we worked together with the architect to propose integrated tailor-made architectural acoustic solutions that respond to the variability of these uses.

Tailor-made stage and sound equipment

In order to meet the needs and respect the exceptional architectural requirements of the place, we have set up:

  • A scenic grill receiving the motorized poles necessary to manage the different configurations of this room.
  • All multimedia equipment. They have been changed to meet international standards and to ensure the sound and image recording of institutional conferences, debates, live shows and cinematographic broadcasts received in this room.
