Abstract: There are few studies on pedagogical approaches to acoustic design in architecture degrees, particularly those addressing how acoustics is taught within design studios and how students apply acoustic design principles. This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the current approaches to acoustic design within architectural design coursework in top-tier universities. It also showcases a unique architecture design studio framework incorporating acoustic performance, developed for, and tested in The University of Melbourne context. Delivering this design studio on acoustic design led to the
development of a methodology to categorise and compare student design outcomes.
Keywords: Architectural Design, Acoustic Design, Architectural Design Curriculum, Performance-oriented design
