Christchurch Town Hall
Written By Christine Storer
The Christchurch Town Hall is closely bound up with advances in understanding concert hall acoustics in the second half of the 20th century.
A full account of these events, particularly regarding the importance of lateral reflected sound, will be found in the recent publication "Spatial responsiveness in concert halls and the origins of spatial impression." by A H Marshall and M Barron Applied Acoustics 62, (2001) 91-108.
The design itself was the product of an architectural competition in 1966 and the hall opened in 1972.
