Building Type Basics for Performing Arts Facilities by Hugh Hardy
This new volume in the Building Type Basics series covers the essentials of designing performing arts facilities. Authored by an architect who is an expert with this building type, the book provides need-to-know information on design renovation, and technical aspects such as lighting, acoustics, and materials.
"The book does a good job of introducing to the uninitiated to the peculiarities of theatre architecture..it makes absorbing reading." (Lighting & Sound International, January 2009)
