In this paper a model of acoustic analysis of built environments that also includes socio-cultural acoustic theory and a spatial perspective is discussed. The normal technical acoustic analysis is based on a combination of physical and the psycho-acoustic analysis and give little attention to the spatial consequences of acoustics. Architectural analysis is also based on a combination of physical and psychological analysis, but equal importance is given to the socio-cultural analysis and the spatial context. In this paper both the psycho-acoustic model for analysis as well as some complementary aspects of acoustic analysis related to a socio-cultural and spatial analysis of architecture, are discussed. A conceptual model for analysis based on the central position of space in architecture and the concepts of aesthetics, function and technique is presented.
