Last night, my colleague Josh Rodell joined @helenmsheldon, @MindfulArchi & Nadja Lavin from
@stowerkstatt to discuss #Wellbeing and #Soundscapes. Really interesting to hear some of the thinking and language that inform our Acoustics for Wellbeing service.

Great to see @MaccLav's @IBSTOCKPLACE refectory pick up the AJ School Award last week. Our #acoustic design got a nod from the judges who described it as ‘Beautifully detailed, with integrated lighting and acoustics seamlessly made into architecture.’ https://t.co/DARAtrpSyD

We're recruiting! We are looking for an #acoustic engineer with around 3 years' experience. Closing date for applications is Friday 23rd April. More details on @MaxFordhamLLP website. https://t.co/Hk6z0D0lk3

This loudspeaker paper developed by @TUChemnitz
looks like it would have lot of potential applications. It consists of a piezoelectric layer sandwiched between conductive paper layers. It can even be printed in a circular array to give surround sound. https://t.co/nZ79roLGcl

@MaccLav's Ibstock Place Refectory building is featured in the @ArchitectsJrnal. We helped work up a detail for the acoustic panel infills to the glulam diagrid in the hall, which works really nicely. https://t.co/kEHEINFozx

On Tuesday 17th November, we are hosting a NZC panel debate on the topic "How far away is the UK from reaching its 2050 target?". You can register here: https://t.co/tULJGSHpWK

Fairfield Halls article in @ArchitectsJrnal. ‘Acoustic testing was done during the night to minimise the influence from other noise sources’. Some unsociable hours but a good result. https://t.co/0wDCJ0QLSZ.

We hope you enjoyed our little series about #Passivhaus myths, and can now confidently explain the many advantages of these energy efficient buildings.

This presentation is now available on YouTube. Setting out a #wellbeing based approach to #acoustics briefing. https://t.co/pr9xYtQ51b

[Anthony Chilton @AnthonyChilton_]

I'm speaking at this @Arch_Today + @GeberitUK event tomorrow (Weds 5th, 10am). Looking at a Wellbeing based approach to acoustic briefing. Free registration here: https://t.co/jT5P5n4oEG

[Anthony Chilton @AnthonyChilton_]

Great to see that Electronic has finally been able to open at the @DesignMuseum. We provided #acoustics measurements and advice for the exhibition in relation to containing the bass sound. Looking forward to a visit. https://t.co/iUp5FeyD0l

I've been experimenting with procedural architecture. Starting to build up to a complete environment, but here's some window/door designs for starters. Music by @gutterboxaudio

Pleased to be providing the acoustic input for this project. A critical aspect is understanding the sound insulation characteristics of the cross-laminated timber floor slabs. You can also see one of our other projects (Newport St. Gallery) on the other side of the rail lines.

Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios has designed a six-storey cross-laminated timber office, which will be net-zero-carbon to align with its Architects Declare commitments: https://t.co/prp7pmABKp

Not sure if there was any acoustic consideration in this but would be interesting to know what effect an audience of 2,292 potted plants have on the acoustic parameters of an opera house. https://t.co/wKuC0z8E8s

"Days sound more like nights" - nice @nytimes article (with audio clips) about the effect of the lockdown on city soundscapes. https://t.co/1qYEX5eqo7

[Anthony Chilton @AnthonyChilton_]

This video https://t.co/SeuJFCGN3X made for @waltersandcohen 25th anniversary includes one of my first ever acoustic projects (Bedales Orchard Building). Great to see (and hear) all these buildings in use.
