Bahrain National Theatre wins top architectural prize

MANAMA, December 10, 2014

The Bahrain National Theatre has won a major architectural award.

It landed the United States Institute for Theatre Technology's (USITT) 2015 Architecture Award for exceptional performance spaces, said a report in the Gulf Daily News (GDN), our sister publication.

The theatre was designed by Paris-based Architecture-Studio in collaboration with Theatre Projects Consultants of London and is one of the largest performance spaces in the Middle East.

Opened in 2012, the waterfront theatre covers 12,000 sq m and consists of a 1,001-seat auditorium and a smaller 150-seat flexible studio theatre.

The awards were chosen based on creativity, contextual resonance, functional operation, use of new technology and community contribution.

The award will be presented at the Annual Conference and Stage Expo to be held from March 18 to 21 in Cincinnati, US. - TradeArabia News Service
