Abstract

This microessay traces the historical evolution of acoustic spaces in architecture. Starting from ancient architecture designed for shelter and ritual rather than for sound, it shows how buildings adapted: pre-Hispanic spaces designed for echo and amplification, such as Chichén Itzá; the colonial replacement with European-style churches and cathedrals; the French-inspired architecture of the Porfiriato in theaters and palaces; and contemporary multipurpose spaces with audio technology, insulation and absorbent surfaces. It concludes that acoustics became a central criterion of architectural design.
