Description / Abstract:
FOREWORD: The Theatre, Television and Film Lighting Committee
developed this Design Guide to assist design professionals in
specifying or understanding the requirements of performance
lighting and control systems. This Guide considers the factors
involved in achieving a successful, functioning space for live
performances. It outlines the unique nature of these facilities and
general techniques for creative lighting, but leaves the details to
architects and the special consultants involved in the design of
these spaces.
As a complete review and revision of prior Committee documents
in this area (CP-34 and CP-35), this Design Guide incorporates the
latest design and application information associated with
contemporary theatrical architecture, lighting positions in both
the house and stage, typical luminaires and layouts, the effects of
lighting on mechanical and acoustical elements, and the lighting
controls used in the lighting of activities and presentations.
