3. AUDITORIUM DESIGN INTRODUCTION An auditorium is a room built to enable an audience to hear and watch performances at venues such as theatres. VARIOUS PARTS OF AUDITORIUM BACKSTAGE – The space which functions as awaiting room. HOUSE – It is the main seating area. STAGE – Place were performance is held

4. TYPES OF AUDITORIUMS ARENA THEATRE Auditorium with audience surrounded on all sides. PROSCENIUM THEATRE Auditorium with audience only on the front side THRUST THEATRE Auditoriums with audience surrounded on three sides FLEXIBLE THEATRE Auditoriums with flexible stage and seating arrangement

5. GENERAL PRINCIPALES OF DESIGN SITE SELECTION AND PLANNING - Site choice for an auditorium is governed by several factors Noise is an important consideration. - The quietest possible condition should be provided so that intelligibility of speech does not suffer and even soft passages of music is heard. - When air conditioning is provided special care should be taken to attenuate the plant noise and the grill noise . For this purpose plant should be suitably isolated and ducts as well as the plenum should be so designed that noise gets adequately reduced so as to be within the permissible limits. SIZE AND SHAPE - The size should be fixed in relation to the number of audience required to the seated. - The floor area of the hall including, gangways (excluding the stage) should be calculated on the basis of 0.6 to 0.9 sq.m per person. - The height of the hall is determined by such presence of balcony and the type of performance.

38. DETAILS

39. WALLS AND CEILING The walls and ceiling has basic wooden framework. These framework (panels) had alternate concave and convex triangular forms which ensured even distribution of sound over the entire auditorium. These projections come out from the sides of the walls. They are hollow and may act as resonators. These are surfaces which help in the dispersion of sound. The special acoustic forms are made up of high density compressed plaster (P.O.P.). Due to these special acoustic methods, the voice is naturally audible at any place in the auditorium without any mikes or sound systems. Sprinklers are placed at a distance of 4 metre on the ceiling.

40. LIGHTING A good number of lighting fixtures are oriented on the stage covering all angles. There are halogen lights on the ceiling over the seating area. There are a total of lights on the ceiling. These lights can be dimmed or brightened as per the requirements. The lighting over the stage also had fixtures to hang the focus lights.

69. INTRODUCTION The Philharmonie de Paris is a cultural institution in Paris, France which combine spaces all dedicated to music. It is composed of concert halls, exhibition spaces, rehearsal rooms, educational services, restaurant and bars. The main buildings are all located in the Parc de la Villette at the northeastern edge of Paris in the 19th arrondissement. LOCATION : 221 West Avenue Jean-Jaurès, Paris, France. CONSTRUCTION YEAR : 1995-2015 DESIGNED BY : AR. JEAN NOUVEL ACOUSTICS : Harold Marshall (Marshall Day Acoustics) – Toyota - Eckhard Kahle TYPE : Concert hall SUFACE AREA : 2200 M SQ. HEIGHT : 54 M CAPACITY : 2400 SEATS TOTAL AREA : 39642 M SQ. USABLE AREA : 20,000 M SQ. SUFACE AREA : 2,200 M SQ. site Outer facade

70. CONCEPT In 2007 the project entered into the competition by Jean Nouvel for this new building was the winner. A rock like building, with the air of the hill that rises from the Parc de la Villette, the Philharmonie 1 offers innovative ways. His bright aluminum shapes spiral embrace the Central Concert Hall contrast to surround and elegant matte angles covered with mosaics of birds in different shades of gray . It is also known as Grande Salle.

71. OUTER FACADE the bird mosaic is repeated throughout the scheme reflective aluminum contrasts the matt mosaic finish the sheltered entrance leads to an internal foyer a spiraling aluminum form surrounds the central concert hall

76. STRUCTURE The building has a highly complex geometry, both externally and internally and in its structural design, combining structures of reinforced concrete and metal. a unique piece with a central span of 60 meters and an overhang of 25 meters, turning to study and monitor the behavior of the structure dynamic load testing. The angular structure of the building rises 52m. Engineers used a BIM software based on analysis packege Hergos and Tekla model is jointly used to access the geometry and design loads. The monumental structure of the concert hall was designed to break the assembly into sub-assemblies and components simple but unique, in particular: the “cloud” floating balconies in the room and are only linked by discrete points. the iconic and external vertical giant screen 100m long and 50m high. the roof of the building that acts as a sound barrier and viewing platform for the public and collecting rainwater.

77. STAGE The stage can accommodate any orchestral, even more imposing. The room features a Rieger organ, 15 meters high and 20 meters wide, specially designed for the symphonic repertoire. Here the audience has the ability to adapt to different musical genres, always offering optimal viewing and the same listening conditions. In symphonic settings, the public around the orchestra. The stands behind the stage can accommodate a choir if necessary for the work presented, but more often are occupied by spectators. But in the case of concerts or operas or ‘cine-concerts’ (film screening with live music), the modular concept allows these levels can be eliminated and the stage moved back, increasing the parterre. The seats in the parterre can be removed to allow the public to watch the concert standing. The stage lights above the musicians are crystalline in their clarity, by contrast.

78. INTERIOR FACADE The interior walls of the great hall shows also reinforced concrete. In its construction 3,500 tons of steel and 50,000m3 of concrete were used. The hall also houses a Riger organ 15 m high and 20 m wide that was specially designed for the symphonic repetoire A grand entrance lobby structurally stable with concrete mass Sound reflecticing cloud like panels on the ceing

79. ACOUSTICS The use of a new type in the elaborate sound program led to a great clarity of sound combined with high reverberation and significant side reflections. The solution is in bold system creating floating balconies privacy, and also to the outer chamber, which produces high reverberation. This new model side interweaves reflections, direct sound and reverberation, for excellent clarity and transparency within a warm and enveloping resonance. Another acoustic feat, of a different kind, but no less remarkable, is having achieved room soundproofing against outside noise, which is considerable given the location of the Philharmonic, near the Boulevard Sérurier the Péripherique (ring road around Paris ) and the Zenith concert hall in the La Villette. This was achieved using the concept of the “box within a box”, that is, leaving a space between the walls. Thus, the room is adhered to the poetic but highly technical notion of a “floating auditorium.”

80. LIGHTING The designer created shoebox-like containers—about a foot long by 8 inches wide—to contain 90 LEDs each (the hall has 641 fixtures in total). And these are mostly tucked behind the two levels of Balconies. The textured surface of some of the balcony fascia and wall panels helped hide any imperfections, says Descottes . With the help of glass reflectors inside the boxes, the light bounces off the ceiling.

81. THERMAL COMFORT For its heating, the Philharmonie is connected to the urban heating distribution system of the City of Paris. In return, it has installed a water cooling facility in its basement for air conditioning, and the surplus is sent back to the City’s system. Air conditioning is limited to premises where it is required. On the building’s shell, 1,000 m2 of photovoltaic cells have been installed. FIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Automatic sprinkler system Lighting escape Fire alarms Emeggency exits
