| Summary: | In 2021, its Diamond Jubilee year, the Association of British Theatre Technicians undertook to revise Theatre Buildings: a Design Guide (Routledge, 2010). This new edition (Routledge, 2023) has substantially re-written text with fresh images and entirely new reference projects, providing essential guidance for all those engaged in the design of theatre buildings. Edited by Margaret Shewring (Emeritus Reader, University of Warwick, former director of the postgraduate diploma and MA in theater consultancy), this new publication is written by a team of international experts, architects, theatre consultants, acousticians, engineers and industry professionals led by Tim Foster (Foster Wilson Size) and Robin Townley (CEO of the ABTT). It provides an invaluable resource for those looking to build, remodel or conserve theater buildings, taking into account the significant changes which have taken place in the last twelve years in all aspects of theater design and technical practice. It locates those changes in the wider context of the need for sustainability in the theater industry in response to the climate emergency, inclusivity, diversity of access, placemaking and concerns for health and wellbeing. This new edition provides guidance for anyone who seeks inspiration and encouragement to create or improve a place of entertainment or who seeks to understand what might be required to accommodate an audience for the presentation of live performance and the successful use, operation and organization of such a venue. Its generous format and the thirty-two new reference projects, more than 260 high-resolution color images and 175 diagrams and specially commissioned plans, make it accessible and informative both to the general reader and the professional specialist. |
