Communication, Textile and IT Integrated and modernity.
(Experiential) Design. It is an Institute of National
Importance under the DIPP, Ministry of Commerce
and Industry, Government of India

 Designing is often regarded as a visionary activity. So

in our day to day life we have to discard our old
projects and replace it by new once. For this we have

THEATRE DESIGN AUDITORIUM :
•Primary objective = bring in as many people as
possible within the optimum range of distances from
the performance area, by:
increasing the degree of encirclement in plan
•vertical layering eg. add in one or more tiers - this has
the advantage of increasing number of seats without
unduly increasing the distance from the stage.
However, is more difficult to get good sightlines -
shallow tiers help resolve this

VISION
:

SEATS
Allow at least 0.5m2 per person (seated):

•width-row spacing of 0.45m2 (or more)

•max of 16 seats per aisle OR 25 seats if one side
exit door of 1m width is provided for every 3-4
rows
•exits/escape routes - 1m wide per 150 people
(min width 0.8m)
