Jaffe, a consultant in acoustics who has designed concert halls and symphonic music pavilions for orchestral ensembles in the US, provides a manual for acousticians, concert administrators and others in the field, that details a method of designing concert halls and other symphonic performance venues. This method relies on a match of subjective values to quantitative measurements, and an awareness of a community's musical memory. He describes the history of concert halls, the elements and criteria of acoustical design, and designing "shoebox," recital, surround, and multipurpose performance halls, the Cab Forward design, and lessons learned from them. Case studies of the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, Severance Hall, and others he designed, are included along with many color and b&w photos and illustrations.
