Theater design

Design means the reconstruction of already finished theater halls or the creation of a new technologically equipped hall, stage or the entire theater complex, including the foyer, lobby, sidelines and other important premises. When designing a theater, it is important to take a comprehensive approach to solving issues related to:

· safety requirements;

· operational solutions;

· creating comfortable conditions for each spectator and actors;

· installation of the correct lighting and sound devices;

· installation of stage and multi-pass layout;

· installation of additional equipment and theater items.

The tasks of a design company do not end with performing calculations and developing an entire project, and drawing up recommendations. The entire reconstruction must be controlled in terms of installation of stage decorations, planning the location of the continental aisle for seating the audience, high-quality sound and lighting equipment.

General design of the auditorium with the type of performance and number of spectators. The auditorium is the part of the theater where spectators are seated during the performance. The area includes the lobby, cloakroom, refreshment area, ticket office and restroom. The basic stages can be called:

1. At the initial stage, it is important to calculate the total number of seats and design the most functional room.

2. Stage of designing the theater acoustics. In large areas, it is very important to take care of good sound quality; for this purpose, the reconstruction plan may include the installation of additional sound reinforcement equipment.

3. Stage of designing the mechanics of the scene. As an architectural feature, a stage may consist of a platform or a series of platforms. In some cases they may be temporary or adjustable.

4. Stage of designing passages and visual areas. With careful planning, the right aisle layout can accommodate more seating in the same space.

5. Design of lighting systems (main and emergency).

The design of a modern theater should be entrusted to a reliable contractor who has already dealt with this issue, employing specialists with good experience. The contractor will be required to draw up a draft plan.

Plans can be of different types: architectural, which involves preparing a drawing, and constructive, where a comprehensive analysis of all indicators and factors takes place to create a design solution. It is better to choose the customer company that controls the implementation of the plan at each stage with an engineer visiting the site.

During the work, it is important to take into account not only the order of work with different areas of the hall, but also to design the seats and stage. It is important not to forget about installing special equipment and building elements, namely:

1. Design of a sound reinforcement system - installation of additional equipment for sound amplification. The sound reinforcement system includes microphones, a sound console, which is usually located by the sound engineer, systems for switching audio signals, as well as equipment for sound processing (GOST 27751-2014).

2. Stage lighting consists of the theater lighting part, lighting control system and electrical part, which must be installed according to fire safety standards. The hall can be equipped with theatrical projection devices, luminescence on the stage, and spotlights (GOST R 54350-2015).

3. Stage equipment - elements that can be used during public events, for example, podiums, stands, slats and much more (GOST 25528-82).

4. Stage mechanics - elements with which you can create various complex details on stage (appearance and disappearance, lifting of the artist) (GOST 25528-82).

5. Curtain as a technical device and element of decoration (GOST 27751-2014 and GOST R 50810-95).

6. Seating in the spectator hall - single and sectional (GOST 16855-91).

Theater design standards are regulated by a set of rules for the design of theatrical and entertainment buildings. The set of rules was approved by the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation on August 29, 2017. The code uses more than 40 references to regulatory documents of GOST, SP and SanPiN.
