C3 TOPIC Performing arts space and facilities

Présentation de l'éditeur :

With specific spatial and acoustic demands, the spaces and facilities used for the performing arts present a concrete set of challenges for the architect that must also be packaged in a unique building design.

Thirteen architectural projects that have succeeded in this sense are examined in this volume, including; Jean Nouvel's Guthrie Theatre; the Fuksas' Zenith Music Hall; Bernard Tschumi's Limoges Concert Hall; the Agora Theatre in Lelystad by UNStudio, and Neutelings Riedijk's Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.
All are examined through full colour photographs, plans and elevations.
