These Bricks Can Absorb Traffic Noise - Thesis Presentation on Helmholtz Resonators

I gave a talk on my Masters Thesis Project in Architecture focusing on Altering Soundscapes in Exterior Environments using Helmholtz Resonators in Ceramic Bricks to absorb Low Frequency Traffic Noise. I recently graduated from @BartlettArchUCL at University College London and was invited to give a talk on my project for the Portland Maker Meetup Club in Portland.
