Royal Shakespeare Theatre Structural Designer: Buro Happold

摘要

This project was the £57 million radical transformation of the Grade II* listed Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. At its heart lies a new thrust stage auditorium which, with a seating capacity of 1040, is the largest of its kind in the world and will revolutionise the way audiences experience live theatre. The design sensitively incorporates the most significant remains of the earlier theatres which stood on the site whilst bringing the building into the 21st century through the application of innovative structural design - resulting in the best space in the world for the performance of Shakespeare.
