The new London Theatre was designed as part of a complex of buildings inc shops, restaurants etc. The building is situated on a site which has been connected to several entertainment places since the 17th century.
Work on the latest building began in 1971, with the New London being classed as the theatre of the future.The design of the theatre with it's modern technology allowed for varying productions to be showcased in different ways withing hours of each other.
The building has a tremendous amount of technology within it and the building could be a great point of call when i collect more research into the technology that goes into creating a theatre. The mechanisms that allow the theatre to change dramatically could be used for inspiration when it comes to creating my design.
The exterior of the building is very modern with the use of materials as well as the shape of the building. The interior is completely different to the previous theatre's that i have looked at which are seeped in history and character. Athough the new London theatre has so much technology which allows it to be a great place for productions, i do feel that some more sense of history is needed to a Theatre building due to the expectations of going to see a performance.
