The Association of British Theatre Technicians produced its first
guide to the design and planning of theatres in 1972. Revised in
1986, it became the standard reference work for anyone involved in
building, refurbishing, or creating a performance space. Theatre
Buildings - a design guide is its successor. Written and
illustrated by a highly experienced team of international theatre
designers and practitioners, it retains the practical approach of
the original while extending the scope to take account of the
development of new technologies, new forms of presentation,
changing expectations, and the economic and social pressures which
require every part of the theatre to be as productive as possible.
The book takes the reader through the whole process of planning and
designing a theatre. It looks in detail at each area of the
building: front of house, auditorium, backstage, and administrative
offices. It gives specific guidance on sightlines, acoustics, stage
engineering, lighting, sound and video, auditorium and stage
formats. Aspects such as catering, conference and education use are
also covered. The information is supplemented by twenty-eight case
studies, selected to provide examples which range in size, style
and format and to cover new buildings, renovations, conversions,
temporary and found space. The studies include Den Norsk, Oslo; The
Guthrie Theatre, Minneapolis; The Liceu, Barcelona; Les Bouffes du
Nord, Paris; The RSC's Courtyard Theatre in Stratford on Avon; and
the MTC Theatre in Melbourne. All have plans and sections drawn to
1:500 scale. The book contains around 100 high quality full colour
images as well as over 60 specially drawn charts and diagrams
explaining formats, relationships and technical details.
