    This research explores the optimization of acoustic design in cultural heritage performance centers, aiming to balance historical preservation with contemporary artistic expression. Cultural heritage performance centers play a vital role in preserving and promoting cultural traditions, serving as platforms for artistic development and community engagement. However, the intersection of preserving historical integrity and accommodating modern performance needs presents unique challenges in architectural acoustics. This study investigates the acoustic requirements of these venues, assessing spatial needs and identifying design strategies that cater to both historical and contemporary considerations. Through a series of case studies, including notable performance centers, the research examines how acoustic design can enhance the quality of performance while respecting the intrinsic cultural values of these spaces. The findings underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among architects, acousticians, and cultural heritage experts to develop innovative solutions that meet the diverse needs of stakeholders. Ultimately, this research contributes to the sustainable development of performance spaces, ensuring that they remain relevant and functional in a rapidly evolving cultural landscape.
