InfrastructureUSA.org is a non-profit, online community whose mission is to bring together infrastructure experts, industry leaders, government officials and most especially interested citizens, to participate in vigorous conversation and generate action to address the U.S. infrastructure crisis.

Have you ever gone to a concert and recognized that the sound and acoustics are unlike any other you’ve ever experienced? There is a reason why some venues have better acoustics than others, and it comes down to the infrastructure itself. Architects, sound engineers, and acoustic consultants work together to create buildings that not only look aesthetically inviting, but create an unparalleled acoustic experiences.

One example in the United States is the Boston Symphony Hall. Built in 1900, this concert hall still remains one of the world’s top venues for classical music. The walls, ceiling, and floor all slope inward to project sound into the audience, the space between rows of seats is kept to an optimal five inches apart, and the halls reflect scientific acoustical measurements.

Invaluable, an online marketplace for fine art, antiques and collectibles, created a neat visual that explores other acoustically perfect venues and how their infrastructure supports the engaging, emotive sound that reverberates through their halls. Take a look for a selection of the best-sounding infrastructure on the planet!
