COMMISSIONING OF THE PHILHARMONIE DE PARIS, GRANDE SALLE

摘要

The concept for the acoustic design of the Philharmonie de Paris has been presented in Marshall's paper. The implementation of the design up to and during the construction has been presented in Scelo's paper. The investigation and validation using the physical scale model has been presented in Katz's paper. Commissioning the Grand Salle of the Philharmonie de Paris was never going to be straight forward. Its multiple uses, encompassing the classical symphonic, choral and recital repertoire, contemporary music, Jazz, and World Music are demanding enough. Add in highly adaptable stage and seating arrangements, and the mechanics of making these changes, and a protracted series of measurements both occupied and unoccupied, is inevitable. At the time of writing only partial preliminary symphony mode measurements, including systematic orchestral surveys had been completed and these will be presented in this paper. These measurements, made in two brief windows of availability were achieved using the MDA-developed IRIS system.
