Accommodating the Lively Arts: An Architect's View (Career Development Series)

Architect Martin Bloom has written Accommodating the Lively Arts to encourage the building and preservation of spaces that can nurture live performance in an age increasingly threatened by the steady encroachment of simulated electronic entertainments. This book is essential reading for anyone who might ever be involved in making decisions about the design or renovation of performance facilities -- architects, designers, students, theatre professionals (actors, directors, producers, technicians) and all those who might find themselves on committees charged with deciding on the location, financingm and shape such facilities may take.
