"Good architecture is not produced by an individual - it takes a collaborative effort by a design team"

This book, particularly, is important to those designing performing arts spaces – it provides the essential background to many aspects, from the brief and the business plan, right through what you need to know about auditorium design, the proscenium zone, planning the foyers, small drama spaces and major lyric theatres. It is not a design guide, but it provides knowledge that can only come from experienced practitioners.
