    TheZorlu Performing Arts Center

    TheZorlu Performing Arts Center, one of


    the largest theatres in Europe and the largest
    in Turkey, is located inside this complex.
    Managed by the companyNederlander, it
    specialises in large Broadway productions, and
    has two theatre areas.
    (1) Anasalon, with 2,300 seats, has a 24metre deep proscenium and a 30-metre high fly
    system, and has the capacity for holding largescale shows, such as operas, musicals and
    ballet performances.

    (2) The 742-seat Drama Theatre is very
    similar to the Concert Hall, applying the
    same technical solutions used in that
    theatre albeit on a smaller scale.

    Challenges and solutions

    The main challenges facing this project involved ensuring perfect visibility
    from all areas and acoustic performance from the seats. The interior of
    the Anasalon has an undulated design, with banked areas that jut out
    between the different floors and rows with differing number of seats,
    leading to the creation of winding aisles. On the other hand, the height of
    the amphitheatre tiers gives rise to a steep slope, posing a potential
    challenge to the spectators view. In order to ensure that the chosen seat
    would be suitable to each of the particular areas, twenty different
    versions of the seat itself had to be designed, establishing tilt angles and
    distances between the different axes in each row.

    Due to the slope between rows and keeping in mind the sight line in the
    amphitheatres, seats in the rows were designed at a 12 angle in the
    dress circle, and at a 10 angle in the upper circle, while the seats in
    the stalls are inclined at a 14 angle. Meanwhile, adaptable bases were
    used to neutralise the slopes in order in order to obtain the vertical
    position of the seats along the banked aisles.
