Raj Patel speaking at SeedAM

Raj Patel, head of Arup Acoustics, will lecture at Seed on October 23.

Raj has worked on the design or redesign of concert halls and performing spaces such as David H. Koch Theatre and Alice Tully Hall of the Lincoln Center, Princeton University Center for Creative and Performing Arts, The Kitchen in New York, the BBC Music Centre in the UK, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, Athens, Greece, and the Sage, in Gateshead UK.

This is our favorite item in his resume:

“He has developed tools for real time visualization of acoustics and in conjunction with his colleagues developed the pioneering Arup SoundLab, a unique tool for the creation of auralizations (accurate audio renderings of 3D space) in which designers can listen to buildings before they are built and use acoustics proactively as part of the design process.”

SeedAM is our internal lecture series. The concept is food + ideas, which means that we simply invite interesting people to come talk to us over breakfast.

Previous speakers include cosmologist Martin Rees, physicist Geoffrey West, information scientist Katy Borner, computer scientist Erik Demaine and physicist Brian Cox.
