Three-dimensional tessellated acoustic components

A method of treating a building feature for selective absorption, diffusion, and reflection of acoustic energy, comprising the steps of:

• providing three or more acoustic components nested within a substantially rectangular parallelepiped arrangement, the components having complementarily tessellated shapes including at least one geometric shape besides parallelepiped, egg-crate pattern, pyramidal pattern, and wedge pattern, each component having at least one substantially flat side;
• removing one or more components from the nested arrangement;
• and
• forming a substantially planar arrangement of said removed components by affixing along said flat sides to a building feature.

A method of producing sets of acoustic components for selective absorption, diffusion, and reflection of acoustic energy when arranged in a substantially planar formation on a building surface, the method of manufacture comprising the steps of:

• defining at least three complementarily tessellated shapes which, when nested together, constitute a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, each shape having at least one substantially flat surface, and including at least one at least one shape besides parallelepiped, egg-crate pattern, pyramidal pattern, and wedge pattern;
• selecting one or more acoustic materials from which to fabricate components having said complementarily tessellated shapes;
• and
• fabricating three or more components from said selected acoustic material having said complementarily tessellated shapes.
