An architectural investigation of mitigating noise to improve speech intelligibility in an open studio environment
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of AmericaChristopher W. Kania, et. al

This research project proposes a series of solutions to mitigate noise and improve speech intelligibility within an open architectural studio environment. Open studio environments pose a unique challenge compared to conventional open office environments. In addition to typical sources of noise found in open offices, such as conversation between co-workers, open studios contain noise generating equipment, such as plotters, 3-D printers and laser cutters.
