TA advocates Acoustically Integrated Architecture (AIR), a holistic best practice which seeks the optimal interface of disciplines for a result that supports the specific intended uses of the building. The architect and building designer team up with the acoustician/systems designer at an early conceptual stage of the project to make the most of their complementary expertise. In practical terms, AIR is applied by envisioning a structure and its systems as a whole in which architectural elements are aesthetically and functionally integrated with the technical systems that are essential components of today's buildings, but also represent significant sources of noise: HVAC, mechanical systems, reinforced audio, plumbing. AIR isolates or zones areas of noise-generating components and activities from quiet areas, controlling the travel of noise from one area to the next, controlling the acoustic or reverberant buildup of sound, and controlling noise at its source. The goal is an environment that facilitates community, communication and interaction. AIR also endeavors to take into account acoustics, sightlines and lighting needs to design optimal presentation spaces within a building, with a view to the audiovisual systems it will contain. Steven Thorburn sits on the Executive Committee of the Themed Entertainment Association and is a regular columnist for Systems Contractor News ().
