Boxes: To see and be seen

A row of projecting boxes on the side wall. Each box accommodates four to six seats, with a railing and soft padding at the front edge, separated from each other by partitions. The view of the stage from the box is at an angle, but the entire auditorium is visible. The arrangement of the boxes itself forms the facade of the side wall. Avoid: making the boxes directly facing the stage as the best seats, boxes without partitions becoming continuous grandstands, making the height of the boxes the same as the orchestra seating, ignoring the impact of the boxes on the acoustic reflection of the side wall.

側牆上一排突出的包廂。每個包廂容納四到六個座位,前緣有欄杆與軟包,彼此以隔板分開,從包廂看舞台是斜角的,但看得見整個觀眾席。包廂的排列本身形成側牆的立面。避免:把包廂做成正對舞台的最佳位置、包廂之間沒有隔板變成連續看台、讓包廂的高度與池座相同、忽略包廂對側牆聲學反射的影響。
