Abstract
Cathedrals have existed for so long as the liturgical seats designated for presiding bishops. Previous studies showed the existence of challenges in the acoustics of Cathedrals. Therefore, this study investigated the acoustical treatment techniques used in enhancing users’ listening experience in selected Cathedrals with a view to apply its features in the design of an Anglican Cathedral in Abuja, Nigeria. The scope of this study was limited to listening experience as a perception of sound quality. The study area was limited to Abuja and the units of data collection were selected using specific selection criteria. The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Data were gathered with the aid of literature review, observation guide and structured questionnaire. Qualitative data were content analysed and quantitative data were analysed using Statistical Products and Service Solutions (SPSS) software. The results were presented with the aid of tables, photographic materials, architectural drawings, 3D visualisations and an animation. Findings from the study connote that the acoustics treatment techniques found in the examined cathedrals did not conform with known acoustic treatment techniques. This also corresponded with the significant number of dissatisfied users in the examined cathedrals. The study contributed to knowledge by designing an Anglican Cathedral using acoustics treatment techniques that were found to enhance listening experience. A recommendation for further research; design of a Concert Hall for Maximum Satisfaction by Users’, Nigeria.
