This book analyzes theatre scene design through the powers and characteristics of physical space. Physical space is central to creative composition in the theatre; but the author extends the reach of the book to individuals concerned with spatial designmdash;architects; interior designers; industrial designers; artists and other performers. A theory is presented on how design; and its creative process; echo the process of human awareness and action. The book covers an array of considerations for the theatre designermdash;the observable features of given physical spaces; their layout; detailing and atmospheremdash;and presents these features from the points of view of various disciplines. There are chapters on the ldquo;physicsrdquo; of space; the ldquo;geographyrdquo; of space and the ldquo;musicrdquo; of space. The author also speaks to the less tangible qualities sensed more personally; such as the ldquo;spiritualityrdquo; or the ldquo;psycherdquo; of space. A discussion of the collaborative process of creating space is included. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
