Abstract:

Some old churches in Spain are presently used for con- certs and other musical or leisure performances. The acoustical conditions of theses buildings are not optimal for these new uses. For this reason, it is necessary to modify its original structure in order to achieve better acoustical features. This paper describes the work done in order to improve the acoustics of a church in Vinaròs, it is presented the refurbishment of this space as a multiple- use room, also to keep the old aesthetics it is proposed a reversible actuation. The proposal is virtually analyzed by using a ray tracing tool.
