Human Scale in Architecture of Buildings for the Performing Arts

摘要

Buildings for the performing arts were adapted to public needs since ancient times. The most important part of those buildings for the audience was the auditorium. There are a number of factors that should be taken into account during the design of the auditorium, but the deciding factor is connected with the comfort and convenience of the audience. The relationship between the auditorium (the audience) and the stage (the performance) is a fundamental requirement for buildings for the performing arts. They can operate in a variety of ways with different types of productions accommodated in one space. The important issue is how and to what extent main elements of the auditorium affect the spectators' reception of the show. The study and analysis of several factors having a positive impact on every member of the audience within the buildings for the performing arts is the main purpose of this paper.
