ESSENTIAL READING FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED WITH BUILDINGS FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS The six books in the Theatre Engineering and Architecture series on the design, planning, equipping of all types of theatres are a record of all the information and detail given on a wide range of subjects at the two international London Conferences of the same name. They are based on the 60 sessions and over 200 papers given by practising specialists from all over the world and cover a wide range of topics, from auditorium and orchestra pit design, backstage planning and stage engineering, through to maintaining older buildings and an insight into the success or otherwise of more recent performing arts spaces. Fully illustrated, they contain the collective knowledge of many leading national and international theatre managers, consultants, architects, manufacturers and operational and technical personnel. WHO SHOULD BUY THEM? The information available from these books provides a rich resource to anyone involved in planning, designing, equipping, building, managing or operating a theatre, opera house, concert or music venue, drama or dance house or a community or school venue. It covers a large amount of what you need to know about the business of planning, designing and operating performance spaces and their equipment. THE TITLES
