A Design Process for the Acoustical System of an Enclosed Space ColonySounds of Silence. Using a general systems approach, factors and components of the acoustical design process for an isolated, confined space community in a torus space enclosure are considered. These components include the following: organizational structure and its effect on alternatives; problem definition and limits; criteria and priorities; methods of data gathering; modelling and measurement of the whole system and its components; decision methods; and design scenario of the acoustics of the complex, socio-technical space community system with emphasis on the human factors.
