Harold Marshall is an architect, engineer and physicist who is
recognised internationally for his contribution to concert hall
design. Formerly Professor of Architecture in the University of
Auckland and Head of the Acoustics Research Centre, Dr Marshall
has over 45 years experience in the acoustical design of auditoria
and concert halls. His work is widely cited in technical literature
and his interest in these fields is sharpened by his active involvement
in musical performance as a bass-baritone.
Harold’s present task in Marshall Day Acoustics is Group
Consultant, leading the conceptual design of concert halls and
similar commissions as required by any of the 8 practice offices.
This is a role for which his architectural and musical skills
have uniquely equipped him to communicate with architects and
their clients. Currently he is involved in three major projects
in China, two in Australia, one in New Zealand and the Philharmonie
de Paris in France.
In 1994 Harold was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of
New Zealand. He also holds Fellowships in the Acoustical Society
of America, the NZ Institute of Architects and the Royal Australian
Institute of Architects.
In 1995 Dr Marshall was awarded the Wallace
Clement Sabine Medal by the Acoustical Society of America
for his contributions to the field of architectural acoustics,
particularly for the understanding and design of concert halls,
and in 2006 received the Gold Medal of the Acoustical Foundation
of India.
