It is widely known that textiles improve the acoustic experience. This project explores why and how that is. Acoustics are directly related to well-being, and in order to create sustainable and caring environments, we need balanced acoustic spaces. Learning from acoustic theories, TEKSTIL AKUSTIK emphasizes the properties of textiles and reflects upon the quality of the spaces we interact with.
