Three important requirements of auditorium
Sightlines ensure that every seat has an unobstructed line of sight to the performance, studying the distance and viewing angles from the most extreme seats both near and far. Again, the performance type informs the criteria for sightlines. While it is critical to be able to see a dancer’s feet at the very edge of the stage, the sightline criteria of an orchestra hall can be less rigid.
The geometry of the room should be designed to naturally enhance the acoustics of the room, while also taking variable and enhanced acoustic materials like reflectors and applied wall materials into consideration.
Lastly, code requirements for egress and accessibility will determine the required aisle and path widths throughout the assembly space, which will be based primarily on the capacity of the auditorium.
- Sightlines
- Acoustic requirements for room shaping and isolation,
- Accessibility and egress.
