7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Excellent technical resourceBy T. J. BarnesThe book is divided into two sections: the first addresses each of a number of technical design issues:- Preliminary planning- Broad Principles- Front of house- Auditorium design- The stage and stage machinery- Lighting; sound and video- Backstage provision- Additional spaces- Restoration; conversion and improvement of existing buildingsEach is covered with a combination of diagrams; lists; technical illustrations and photographs explaining the main points.The second section is a series of 28 reference projects from around the world; including some very recent work like Norman Fosters Winspear Opera House; and Snohettas opera house in Oslo. Each is documented with text; a short summary; photographs; and a plan and section through the stage and auditorium.Its less detailed than Izenours books; but very much more up-to-date; and a great starting resource for anyone involved in designing or modifying a theater.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great reference but Kindle version is quite frustratingBy AhmedA great reference book; However the Kindle version suffers from poor image quality on many of the diagrams (to the point of being almost illegible/useless) as well as odd and arbitrary formatting and page layout that makes it hard to relate the diagrams to the relevant section that they are meant to illustrate. Highly recommended; but make sure you buy the print version.
