The design project, titled " Soundscapes", aims to contribute to the comfort of users by addressing the usage and enjoyment needs of spaces, resulting in favor-able conditions for communication and minimizing the undesirable effects of re-verberation. The dimensions of the panels have been carefully designed to adapt to differ-ent types of spaces, either through the repetition of a module or arranged individ-ually, providing visual harmony. The construction of the panels involves a support made of black cork parti-cleboard, onto which layers of 5mm cork particleboard are applied. The selection of these materials meets the product's requirements, as they exhibit natural acous-tic properties and have a warm surface, aligning with the environmental consid-erations demanded in today's context.engAcoustic AbsorptionCork Particleboard Acoustic PanelsAcoustic treatmentCustomized Panel SolutionsAbsorção acústicaPainéis acústicos de aglomerado de cortiçaSoluções de painéis personalizadosTratamento acústicoSoundscapesjournal article10.1007/978-3-031-73705-3_30
