Description
Profusely illustrated with photographs, computer renderings and architectural drawings, Performing Architecture explores50 of today's finest performance spaces, as well as recently refurbished, restored and transformed buildings. A brief introduction traces the post-war development of theatre and concert hall design and sets out the circumstances today that have led to such a rich provision for performance.
Buildings featured range from Frank Gehry's landmark Disney Opera House in Los Angeles to the quieter Unicorn Theatre for Children in London; and from the Tenerife Opera House by Santiago Calatrava to the Guangzhou Opera House, China, by Zaha Hadid. The book also includes a a fantastic spread on the Royal Festival Hall inLondon, complete with a cross section of the building. A celebratory study, this book showcases some of the most exhilarating buildings of our time.
