Product Talk | Acoustics as Architecture: Why Sound Belongs at the Start of Design

from I Hear Design: the i+s podcast · host interiors+sources

Sound influences every space we design, yet acoustics are often treated as an afterthought. In this episode of Product Talk, Lauren Brant sits down with Dr. Robert MacMeccan, President of Turf Design, to explore why acoustics should be considered one of the foundational elements of architecture and interior design—not simply a finishing touch. Together they discuss evidence-based design, neuroinclusive environments, workplace productivity, healthcare healing spaces, and how thoughtful acoustic solutions create healthier, more functional experiences for everyone. Whether you're designing workplaces, schools, healthcare facilities, or hospitality spaces, this conversation will change the way you think about sound.
