GEORGE IZENOUR | Theater Design - first edition

Possibly one the most thorough analyses of a single building type from the father of modern theatre consulting and design, George C. Izenour.  Izenour guides us through the labyrinthine passages of theatrical evolution, capturing the essence of structural systems, seating arrangements, and the elusive acoustics—the heart of a performance.  More than 100 cases of theaters and amphitheaters from antiquity to the 1970’s are documented and analyzed. Heavily illustrated with approximately 900 drawings and black & white photos. No dust jacket. Moderate wear to linen-covered boards. First page opposite of credits seems to have been removed. Pages are clean and crisp. Good condition. 12.2 x 11.7 inches
