If meditation is interpreted as contemplation and the seeking of emotional quietude, the study of architecture should feature some attention to spaces that can be hoped to promote meditation, and as meditation is sometimes part of the architect's own creative process. In the post-World War II era, the profession has been increasingly called upon to contribute to planning in buildings which comply with often highly conceptualized designs towards thematic transformations of whole areas.3 pgs. 6 f/c. 7b.

4.19004 What is the Relationship between People and Landscape?
It is on this second level that this essay will be addressing the question of the relationship between people and landscape. It will be argued that the landscape serves human societies, in a sense, as a mirror that reflects our own values, prejudices and beliefs. As will be seen, this view of the landscape carries significant risks for both humans and the ecosystem as it often obscures our perception of the realities of the environment of which we are a part.

6.19026 Architectural Acoustics and Concert Halls.
This paper is on architecture, acoustics, and concert halls. One of the most important factors involved in the propagation of sound in an enclosed space is reverberation. This is the effect of sounds persisting for some time after the arrival of the direct sound wave as a result of the strength of multiple reflections of the sound off the walls and other surfaces in a room. To put it simply, the longer a sound is bounced around in a room, the longer is its reverberation time (Hall, p.432).
