The Whispering Gallery (architecture concept)

A Whispering Gallery is an architectural feature designed to transmit sound clearly across distances within a building. Typically found in domed or circular structures, it employs curved surfaces and specific acoustical engineering to allow whispers or sounds made at one point to be heard distinctly at another, often opposite side or at a designated spot. The shape and materials reflect sound waves efficiently, creating a surprising clarity even over long or curved paths. This clever use of geometry enhances communication or adds a unique auditory experience within historic or grand architectural spaces.
