[Reporter Lin Xiaoyun/Taipei Report] Participated in large-scale projects such as the acoustic model of the hall of the "Taichung Opera House" commissioned by the Japanese architect Toyo Ito and the Pingtung Performing Arts Hall. Jiang Weihua, a professor of architecture at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, recently published a book " Performance Architecture: A Symphony of Beauty and Function" reveals the acoustic design of performance architecture. When audiences enjoy concerts, opera performances, or outdoor theater performances, they can receive beautiful music on the stage. There are actually hardware engineering behind it. The precise design of each link.

Jiang Weihua explained that the acoustic design is to control the size, shape, and material of the space, so that it can not only sound good, but also have a certain degree of creativity. How to implement each link is knowledge.

Jiang Weihua said that although there are many design talents in Taiwan, they lack experience in planning before design, and the topic formulation is weak. In addition, if the project is led by a domestic architect, the project budget and service fee are low, and the supervision responsibility is too heavy. Make the process more difficult.

Jiang Weihua not only acts as an acoustic consultant, but also personally participates in related matters such as seat arrangement.

Because the work is complex and unique, communication is even more important. He said that it is like each member of a symphony orchestra. It is very challenging to coordinate and work together to achieve satisfactory results for all parties.

Jiang Weihua, a professor of architecture at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, showed the acoustic model of the Taichung Opera House, which is one of the few models in the world that can be preserved and displayed after construction.

Jiang Weihua also said that the new book integrates all aspects to help everyone see the whole picture. In addition to emphasizing the development history of East Asia and Taiwan, it also focuses on international perspectives and analyzes famous cases, such as the "Royal Danish Theater in Copenhagen" where every link of performance architecture is in place. , the recently substantially updated "London Royal Opera House" and the "Kirishima International Concert Hall" in Kinko National Park, Kagoshima, Japan.

Through real photos, architectural drawings and 3D digital model construction, Jiang Weihua combs ancient and modern Chinese and foreign performance buildings, and presents the difficult acoustic design in a simple way.

He expressed the hope that through this book, different perspectives can be provided from design planning to operation. Whether art participation can be integrated into daily life and enter the community, thinking will determine the result, which is also his deepest wish.
