LEARNING FROM THE THEATER

Research/Analysis/Interpretation. In teams of 3

A) THE THEATER AS BUILDING SITE:

Choose one or two of the following analysis angles for the Strand Theater: circulation, structure, program, access, thresholds, material qualities, seating/view corridors, lighting, theater environments, mechanical elements (backstage/stage lighting), acoustics; and produce the following documents:

? 1 (or more) Interpretative section. Scale: 1/8"=1'-0"

B) THE THEATER AS PROGRAM:

Take a position, and report on one of the topics below. The report will take the form of a presentation with slides. The quality and eloquence of the images chosen and developed matters as much as the factual information or the historical narrative relayed. If there is a need to produce a set of diagrams or redraw spatial rules and conditions for a topic, students should do so. The intelligence we collect on these topics will be open source for all the studio.
