AUDITORIUM SECTION PERSPECTIVE SERIES

A state box or royal box is sometimes provided for dignitaries. These seats are generally considered the most prestigious of the house. They are often separate rooms with an open viewing area which generally seat only a handful of people. Boxes: generally placed immediately to the front, side and above the level of the stage.The highest platform, or upper circle is sometimes known as the gods, especially in large opera houses, where the seats can be very high and a long distance from the stage. The first level is usually called the dress circle or grand circle. In larger theatres, multiple levels are stacked vertically above or behind the stalls. Balconies or galleries: one or more raised seating platforms towards the rear of the auditorium.Stalls, orchestra or arena: the lower flat area, usually below or at the same level as the stage.The seating areas can include some or all of the following:

AUDITORIUM SECTION PERSPECTIVE SERIES

The spreads are still lacking a sense of scale and place so I want to end with renderings that show people inhabiting the spaces, activities that will take place, and how this design blends with the site to generate a unique and exciting experience.īelow are the series of spreads developed so far for this specific project.The price charged for seats in each part of the auditorium (known in the industry as the house) usually varies according to the quality of the view of the stage. I still want to add more site analysis diagrams along with some eye-level perspectives of what one would see when experiencing the different spaces of the design. This project section of the portfolio is almost complete. I also took the CAD floor plan and overlayed it on top of the illustration to get neatly poche walls and edges. To finish everything off, I took a site plan rendering that I had made previously and blended it with the floor plan rendering to add a some texture and give some context of how certain walls relate to the exterior form. I now had something that I could throw into Kerkythea and render as seen below.Ībove, A Sketchup model of just the first floor plan.Ībove, A base rendering in Kerkythea of the first floor plan. Instead, I took the CAD floor plans that I had been developing along side the model and imported those into Sketchup and quickly extruded them. The 3D model was not in a place where I could cut a section and render the floor plans. I have been designing and developing the 3D model as I put together this portfolio and I therefore haven’t had time to fully resolve all of the geometry.

But, because I wanted to emphasize the geometric relationship of the plans ,sections and elevations, I therefore wanted to illustrate them similarly too. I typically don’t render floor plans mainly because I prefer the clean, diagrammatic look of simple line drawings with poche walls.

I decided to group the plans, sections, and elevations into one spread because a) I want to leave more pages for process work and b) I like the visual relationship between the drawings. I put together some floor plans and sections/elevations of the design as well as compiled some of my past process work into another spread. Progress is being made on the theater section of project portfolio upgrade.
