Cheap Structural Reinforcement and Exterior Reworking – In an effort to enhance the structural security ranking of Bomnae Theater from class D to B, we utilized slab reinforcement, strengthening of RC beam with metal plate, and metal body reinforcement to the prevailing construction. This enabled us to alter the inner construction extra freely by decreasing the structural instability of outdated bearing partitions and concrete columns. Particularly, the roof required the set up of rigging beams for the stage and the reinforcement of the supporting construction by including catwalks, a stage sound system, and lighting. A gable roof protruding in all instructions of the prevailing constructing was demolished and the peak was elevated to type a flat roof to safe further heights for the doorway and theatre partially, and we additionally modified the dimensions of the decrease mass to enhance its relationship with a penthouse which was too massive for the constructing and to harmonize with its environment. White stucco was used as the overall exterior ending materials to pursue visible growth and underscore the simplicity of the constructing, and the colour of the symbolic wall ornament on the prevailing façade was modified to create stability whereas its form was maintained.

Vivid and New Efficiency Area – Peter Brook, the director who took the lead within the development of the Royal Nationwide Theatre, stated, the science of theatre-building should come from finding out what it’s that brings about essentially the most vivid relationship between individuals. Bomnae Theater venture is a reworking venture that remodeled an area that was not a theatre right into a theatre by making use of the idea of a theatre house generally known as a ‘discovered house’. Due to this fact, we needed to suggest a vivid and new theatre house quite than the straightforward renovation of an outdated theatre. When it comes to the stage manufacturing and viewers, the prevailing Bomnae Theater required reinforcement of its amenities to help varied staged performances, from concert events to puppet performs, by way of the manufacturing house, and a rearrangement of seating to enhance the space and intimacy between actors and audiences by way of viewing house. A viewing angle of C-Worth 90 grade for all seats was secured by altering the seating from three tiers to 2 tiers, establishing an intimacy between actors and the viewers by reducing bodily distance. As well as, the mix of fastened and movable seats permits the viewers to expertise a shared imaginative and prescient by exchanging varied emotional components corresponding to sounds and actions in an area of ‘see’ and ‘be seen’.

A newly added elevator helps with the environment friendly supply and elimination of apparatus and improves entry and circulation for disabled workers and viewers members in a stage manufacturing.
The prevailing Bomnae Theater had no foyer house for the viewers, because the second-floor efficiency corridor was straight related by an outside staircase. The halls on the primary and second flooring which had lengthy gone unused have now been remodeled into a big foyer house, which improves the entry. The viewers can expertise the whole house of the constructing as they enter the theatre by the foyer and entrance house. The foyer acts as a spot for trade between the viewers members and between the viewers and performers, which permits an growth of their expertise earlier than and after a efficiency.
