Description
Summary:Building designs which have been significant in the development of the divisible auditorium and theater and the fundamental concepts of the multi-purpose facility were reviewed. While not a comprehensive collection of divisible facilities, the installations reported on are those that appear to be landmarks in the evolution of the multi-use concept, and not necessarily those that represent the highest development of a particular approach to divisibility. The installations reviewed range from teaching auditoriums in high schools to multi-arts theaters at a university. In addition, a section is included on the acoustics of the operable or movable partition which is often utilized in divisible facilities. This document previously announced as ED 015629. (BH)
