粗末な音響特性が原因で、就学児童は教師の話の半分を聞き落しています。また、入院患者は病院の騒音に絶えずストレスを感じて 睡眠障害に陥っています。
音の専門家ジュリアン・トレジャーは音響特性を考慮した”見えない建築術”に注目するようデザイナーに呼びかけます。

ジュリアン・トレジャー　「なぜ建築家に耳が必要なのか？」

Most buildings are designed for the eye, not the ear, leading to noisy hospitals and classrooms where recovery and learning suffer. In one study, students in a typical classroom missed half of what their teacher said because of poor acoustics. Constant noise also increases stress, causes more mistakes in healthcare, and even raises the risk of heart attacks for teachers. Attending to the invisible architecture of sound could transform well-being, behavior, and productivity everywhere we live, heal, and learn.

Ignoring Sound Sabotages Health, Learning, And Our Daily Lives

Ignoring the way spaces sound can harm well-being, hinder learning, and disrupt social connection. In many classrooms, students miss half of what teachers say because of poor acoustics, while hospital patients struggle to recover amid constant noise. Designing environments for the ears, not just the eyes, unlocks better communication, health, and focus. Simple changes like adding sound-absorbing materials can dramatically improve outcomes for everyone.
