Why does live performance continue to engage us? In a world saturated with recorded entertainment, we seek out the intimacy and immediacy of live music and theater. What is the relationship between design and the experiences, perceptions, and memories it engenders? At its best, architecture, a collection of elements – some apparent, some hidden – shapes and intensifies the process and experience of performance. Set Pieces pairs the words of leading artists and critics with details showcasing the design and inner workings from projects by Diamond Schmitt Architects for some of the world’s most remarkable performing-arts buildings. The book provides an immersive study of fifteen design elements that enhance and transform the perception of performance – and evoke experiences that surpass visual understanding. In-depth documentations of David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center, New York, Theater an de Parade, Hertogenbosch, National Arts Centre, Ottawa and others A photo essay looks at the backstage world of these famous halls Exploration of the unique typology of performing arts buildings from various angles
