IT IS THE SCIENCE OF SOUND WHICH INCLUDES ITS PRODUCTION,TRANSMISSION, EFFECTS OF SOUND AND OTHER PROPERTIES
THE STUDY OF ACOUSTICS HELPS TO : To analyze the problems involved in the propagation of sound. To suggest ways and means of producing optimum condition of hearing. To obtain both subjective and objective assessments of the results.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
Minimization of external noise. Harmonic development of the functional elements of the theatrical Space within the limits of the human vocal and acoustical scale(theatre Form, capacity). Sufficient emergence of directly propagated sound and positive sound reflection . Limitation of the reverberation of time, elimination of echoes. Limitation of capacity (700 to 1000) and axial plan. Creation of closed space plan (from seating area and stage building with limitation of lateral opening at the side entrancesParadoi). Harmonic development of background scenery(position ,height, length) i.e. backstage in order to neutralize the harmful, lateral sound reflection . Sound barriers to be used to control outdoor noise protection.

OUTSIDE THE THEATER
An outdoor theater can be planned to seat as many as 3,000 spectators without the use Large enough to handle one car for every of amplification for the actors' voices . three spectators . As an upper limit for Designed to permit convenient and the seating, is about 2,500 . speedy exit following the performance, with good access from traffic routes . Surfaced with gravel or asphalt and provided with good drainage under all conditions . Well lighted for ease and security in parking and walking . So arranged as to permit the quick departure of any car in case of an emergency during the performance . Convenient to the box office and the entrance to the theater . Located where the noises and lights of late-arriving cars will not disturb the performance . Well marked with signs .

SITE SELECTION
For a successful acoustic site, it is necessary to follow 6 stages: Identify the type of noise (interior or external air-borne, impact, equipment noises) ; Identify the cause of the noise, the surfaces through which it is transmitted in order to treat them; Assess the intensity of the noise perceived (in dB), define the maximum level of noise Acceptable for premises or housing and thus define the insulation input needed; Identify the nature of existing surfaces to be treated (breeze blocks or hollow bricks, concrete, cellular partitions, plaster boards, wooden or hollow flooring, etc.) ;

The auditorium is one of the largest in London with 1,240 seats, yet with a wonderful outdoor feel. The steeply raked auditorium keeps this theatre experience intimate.
