37.18719 The Design of Concert Halls to Promote Listening Quality.
The term architectural acoustics refers to the creation of rooms or concert halls that provide musical sound of high quality. Acoustics are a challenge to all designers of concert halls. The architect aims for the best possible clarity of sound for a knowledgeable listener will hear immediately if the sound of a note is distorted by the interior of the place in which it is played. The line of sight between an orchestra and its audience is important, for if a column or other interior structure is positioned incorrectly it will obstruct this line of sight and, no doubt, create changes in sound, even causing some notes to 'bounce' from the column, or to be heard again in distorted sound by musicians.

40.16574 Material and Meta-Critical Interpretations of the Hagia Sophia
This paper compares two schools of thought in modern architectural history: that based in ancient literature and criticism, and that based on empirical data from the buildings concerned. It uses two essays from "Hagia Sophia from the Age of Justinian to the Present," by Robert Mark and Ahmed Cakmak. The contrast between thw two styles of architectural history is evident in how useful the respective historians' products (data, questions) are to contemporary users of the structures in question. In this case, structural architectural historians are concerned with earthquake activity and its effect on the cathedral/mosque.

42.21162 Evolution of the City: Skyscrapers in 19th-Century Chicago
This paper discusses the development of the skyscraper (steel frame-supported structure) in Chicago, and how different architects latched onto this new idea in construction. It enumerates the "form vs. function" debate that differentiates the Chicago school from the Neo-Classical architects who designed the Art Institute and many other public buildings during the end of the 19th century. It also explains most of the major innovations resulting from steel-frame construction, and how they related to the function of buildings in society as well as "buildings qua buildings."
