A concept developer at Saint-Gobain Ecophon, Mr. Manit Ramaiya has been at the forefront of Acoustics in working environments. He has championed the role of advising over importance of acoustics in indoor applications, to promote efficient designs and better productivity. Being involved with extensive research on the benefits of good acoustics, he believes that the need of the hour is to have better and improved working conditions.
Many-a-times it is observed that, because of poor acoustics, students in classrooms miss 50 percent of what their teachers say and patients in hospitals have trouble sleeping because they continually feel stressed. Why does architecture then continue to be primarily a visual-driven exercise and what are the ill-effects of this upon us?
Listen to this TEDx Talk by Manit who sheds a light on the ‘Silent problems of Noise’ and puts forward a strong call-to-action for designers to pay attention to the ‘invisible architecture’ of sound! A concept developer at Saint Gobain ECOPHON, Mr. Manit Ramaiya has been a leading voice on psychoacoustics and interior acoustics. He has championed the role of acoustics in the architecture of workplaces to promote efficient designs and better productivity and peace of mind. Being involved with extensive research on the psychological effects of noise, he believes that the need of the hour is to have better indoor acoustics. While architecture keeps getting more and more breath taking visually, indoor acoustics continue to be poor. Through his work, Manit attempts to bring a change in this trend. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
