Upon first visiting the bare site of the new Saudi Press Agency (Saudi Arabia), we knew that acoustics were important and needed to be considered when constructing the interior space. The Saudi Press Agency’s auditorium is a 25-meter-diameter concrete sphere that required precise acoustic studies in order to deal with major reverberation and echo issues. […]

The 3D study for this auditorium was presented to the Jeddah Municipality. Studies were conducted after many alterations were made to the existing structure. Lighting and acoustics simulations were computer-generated to create a comfortable theatre for conferences and presentations.
