Patent ID: 7703575

Claim:
A component system for creating an acoustic sculpture with functionally selective absorption, diffusion, and reflection of acoustic energy comprising: a set of three or more solid acoustic treatment components having three or more geometric shapes unique within said set, said unique shapes having complementary three-dimensional block tessellation shape relationship with all other components in said set, and each component having at least one substantially flat side; wherein said set of components nests into a substantially rectangular parallelepiped volume in a storage and shipment arrangement having no substantial voids within said volume; wherein said components provide a combination acoustic treatment of absorption, diffusion, and reflection in an installation arrangement affixed to a substantially planar building surface upon said component flat sides, and wherein said combination acoustic treatment of absorption, diffusion, and reflection is selectively determined according to an installation pattern through rotation and spacing of said components within said set on said planar building surface, said installation pattern forming a three-dimensional sculpture other than a repeating egg-crate pattern. a repeating pyramidal pattern, a repeating wedge pattern, and a cylinder.
