Wallace Clement Sabine (1868-1919),American physicist and founder of architectural acoustics. In 1895 he was enlisted to improve the poor acoustics in a new lecture theatre at Harvard. Little was then known about such problems,but he saw that they must arise from the size,shape,and materials of a room. He conducted a number of experiments in the room using various arrangements of cushions,and was hence able to advise on some remedial measures. He later drew up a mathematical formula for a room's reverberation time in terms of measurable parameters. From 1904 he was much in demand to advise on architectural acoustics,and his methods have been in use ever since | |
