THESIS REPORT | FASHION HUB DELHI AUDITORIUM The design of an auditorium is to determine a seating area, establish the position of walls and shape of floors within the limitations to see satisfactorily.
Center of curvature- It is located on the center line of the auditorium, approximately the depth of the house behind the proscenium. Aisles- Maximum legal number of seats into each row in every section- 14. A center aisle wastes the most desired seating area in the front Visual acuity- Distance of not more than 15m Capacity- Varies with the different performances in the stage. For pageants/shows, 48-60m is generally adopted on grounds of visibility for determining the maximum depth of the house. Floor slope- To determine floor slope, establish eye position of spectator in first row on center line by approximately 30o vertical angle above. For live shows stage floor will be 0.05m below the eye level. A point 1.12m below and 0.45m in front of the eye position will be the floor level for the first row. Considerations in planning depth of house Draw a sight line from the from the eye position to the downstage edge of stage and extend it back of the eye position for the front row, step off horizontal seat spacing and draw vertical lines at the points thus established. Establish a point 0.127m above the intersection of the extended sight line and the next vertical line. This is the eye position for the second row and the floor level at the front edge of the second row seat is 1.12m below in front of the eye position. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 to the back of the house and draw in the floor slope. Where the slope exceeds 0.03 in 0.3, platforms are required under the seats and steps in the aisles. In laying out the balcony, sight lines are laid out from rear to front because it is unsafe to change balcony slope.
