He has an avid interest in acoustical models and 3DListening projects (predictive computer simulations of acoustic environments). Ben’s wide spectrum of projects at colleges and universities around the globe has given him a broad perspective on the needs of spaces that support both performance and pedagogy – for those on and off the stage. Some of his notable projects include the Paramount Theater at Emerson College in Boston, the thrust-stage Teaching Theater at the University of Southern Indiana, and Farkas Hall (formerly the Hasty Pudding Theater) at Harvard University. In addition to his consulting work, Ben is a visiting lecturer in the School of Architecture at MIT, at the Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, and at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design.
