Architectural acoustics plays a vital role in creating functional and comfortable spaces — from classrooms and offices to restaurants and apartments. The Sound of Architecture CPD session teaches how sound behaves in built environments and how design choices influence acoustic quality. By the end of the session you’ll be able to: ✓ Explain acoustic fundamentals and how we perceive sound in space ✓ Understand key acoustic terminology and sound‑wave behaviour ✓ Identify acoustic design requirements for different building types ✓ Specify appropriate materials and detailing (absorbers, diffusers, reflectors) for high‑performance sound insulation and absorption Whether you’re designing a whisper‑quiet office, a lively restaurant or a peaceful home — great architecture should sound as right as it looks.

When the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) moved into their new workplace, they were literally stepping inside their own story. The rotary-peeling process ACIAR once championed now lives on through the bold, tactile timber details supplied by Crafted Hardwoods — proof that ideas from the forest floor can shape the spaces we inhabit. Designed by The Design Agency, the project celebrates Australian research, innovation and material intelligence, turning decades of insight into something beautifully tangible.
