theateradvies bv, has been a member of the winning team for such prestigious competitions as the "Boris Eifman Dance Palace" in St. Petersburg, Russia (UN Studio), “Birmingham Library and Repertory Theatre” in England (Mecanoo architecten), “Weiwuying Performing Arts Center” in Kaohsiung, Taiwan (Mecanoo architecten) and “Centre Culturel et Administratif” in Montreal, Canada (de Architekten Cie).
Designing and building a theatre requires specialized experience as the effectiveness and efficiency of the facility depends on many details. The theatre consultant is often the only member of the design team with the necessary experience in the functioning, design and technical equipment of theatres. Our task as a consultant is very broad; it is important to know the characteristics of an auditorium, the stage area and its spatial and functional relationships as well as the different types of performing arts and their respective requirements. We have also been involved in analysing, reporting and making recommendations on existing theatre situations in a country or specific city with plans to improve its theatrical infrastructure.
