Design Help

Hi there, I am an Interior Design student & have been given a brief to design a recording studio. I have NO idea where to start. I would appreciate it if you could give me an idea on some basic rules of design and materials to use. Alternatively, if you could direct me to some reading material that I will have access to here in south Africa. Thank you!!!!! :wink:

Check out the links in this thread http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2179 Read as much of this forum as possible. It's one of the best resources out there in my opinion.

Hey Jester, Thanks for the reply!!! I have read through some of the forum since posting my question & as someone who knows absolutely NOTHING, I am finding it loads of help. I am sure that as I become more familiar with the the science/art that is recording, I will have some intelligent, or maybe not so intelligent, questions to ask! :D In reading some of the forum I came across an architecture thesis student who got some flack for assuming that all the info he needed could be passed on to him so easily. As a graduate of the 1st degree in architecture (BAS) I sympathise with him. In architecture we have so much to learn with regard to design & construction, there is little time for specialised design fields. This is why architects always rely on consultants such as engineers, lighting, fire, acoustics etc, etc... Unfortunately, at University we don't have the help of consultants so the work load increases for us in areas such as this!!! Thanks again for your help! Best get back to reading!!! :wink:
