Martin Bloom 
Accommodating the Lively Arts 
An Architect’s View

ACCOMMODATING THE LIVELY ARTS, An Architect’s View, insightfully analyzes the needs of those who design theatres, work in theatre, or attend theatre. Illustrating his points with many sketches, Bloom shows how, over time, the elements of Focus, Platform and Frame have determined – and still determine – the success of the theatrical performance. Essential reading for anyone involved in making decisions about the design or renovation of performance facilities – architects, designers, students, theatre professionals and all those who decide on the location, financing, and shape such facilities may take.
