ОСОБЕННОСТИ АРХИТЕКТУРЫ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ТЕАТРАЛЬНЫХ ЗДАНИЙ МИРА: ГЛОБАЛЬНЫЕ ТРЕБОВАНИЯ И НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ПРИОРИТЕТЫ

Abstract

The architecture of theatre buildings in the modern period (from the late XXth century to the present day) has gone through significant changes in the architectural and artistic image of new constructions and in technological solutions. These transformations were motivated both by the need to comply with global standards and by the desire to sovereignly formulate priorities for the development of authentic national theatres (as an essential type of cultural institution) in each country. The goal of the article is to identify the key features of the traditions of contemporary theatre architecture in different parts of the world — in Europe, in the East and, of course, in Russia. This is, first of all, the creation of “star” architecture — a technique that has become especially popular in many countries over the past three decades. The revealed features of modern theatre architecture are primarily based on the analysis of the latest techniques for developing the artistic image of a new theatre building, its role in the development of the city environment and identification of the required set of technical characteristics. It is concluded that in the conditions of contemporary globalization the necessity to embody local identity in the architecture of modern theatres becomes a priority for each country.
