Theater Section is More Important Than Plan

The cross-section of a theater is more important than its floor plan. A longitudinal section of a theater. The height of the stage fly tower is more than twice the height of the proscenium opening. The area of the backstage and side stage is close to that of the main stage. The auditorium is divided into an orchestra pit and two tiers of balconies, receding and rising gradually. The ceiling undulates according to acoustic requirements. Below ground, there is an orchestra pit and a stage basement. All functions are stacked vertically. Avoid: only drawing the floor plan without explaining the height, drawing the stage fly tower as high as the auditorium, removing the underground orchestra pit and stage basement, making the height difference between the balconies and the orchestra pit unclear.

一張劇院的縱向剖面。舞台塔的高度是台口的兩倍以上,後台與側台的面積接近主舞台,觀眾席分成池座與兩層樓座逐層後退升高,天花隨著聲學需求起伏。地面下還有樂池與台倉。所有機能在垂直向度上疊起來。避免:只畫平面不交代高度、把舞台塔畫得跟觀眾席一樣高、拿掉地下的樂池與台倉、讓樓座與池座的高差不明顯。
