This is an essential book for those who are involved in the initiation, planning, design and building of facilities for the performing arts. It includes the stages in the development, decisions to be taken, information requirements, feasibility and advice necessary in the design and development of new or adapted buildings. This new edition has been redesigned and updated to incorporate disability legislation, sustainability information, and a selection of case studies.
Part one provides background information about the organisation of the performing arts, the key issues, the client and different building types. In the second part, the author deals with the components of design and development, identifying the roles of the client, advisers and consultants, the stages to be achieved, including client"s proposal feasibility, the process of briefing, design and building and eventual hand-over and opening night. Studies include the assessment of demand, site requirements, initial brief, building design and financial viability. Separate studies focus on the adaptation of existing buildings and provision for children and young people. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Buildings for the Performing Arts (Ian Appleton)
