“…In these enclosures, acoustic experiments with scale models (Xiang, Blauert, 1993;Polack et al, 1993;Kim et al, 2011) still remain a powerful tool when a rough design of the room is already available (Hidaka et al, 2000). However, as a further aspect of the widespread use of computers in architecture (Oldham, Rowell, 1987), computer simulations are replacing these physical models since their algorithms are becoming not only easier to use but also cheaper and more accurate. Nowadays, the wide range of existing commercial computer programmes, whose validity can be directed towards a variety of scientific aspects (Ermann, 2005;Rychtáriková et al, 2011), incorporate highquality auralizations.…”
