Modern Shakespearian Amphitheatres

Studio Andrew Todd's Circular Theatre is Built Out of Wood

— June 29, 2016 — Art & Design
Studio Andrew Todd is the design team behind this newly modelled Shakespearian amphitheatre located in Calais, France. The theatre is built entirely out of wood with a circular layout that takes inspiration from plays put on by the Bard in the Elizabethan times at the Globe Theatre.

The structure's overall aesthetic is a merging of French and English culture with a nod to ancient times when plays were performed in circular spaces. The curved design and tiered seating allows all audience members to have a great view of the performance. The theatre is located in a forested area and the use of bamboo and wood in the architecture complements the natural landscape. The theatre is enclosed thanks to a glazed roof and it also includes a staircase to the higher tiered seats.
Trend Themes
1. Circular Amphitheatre Design - There is an opportunity to create innovative circular designs for amphitheaters that blend cultures and ancient architectural inspiration.
2. Sustainable Theatre Architecture - Innovation may lie in the incorporation of sustainable materials, such as bamboo and wood, to create eco-friendly theatre spaces that complement natural landscapes.
3. Glazed Roof Theatre Enclosures - The use of glazed roofs to create enclosed theatre spaces presents an innovative opportunity for designers to incorporate a modern touch on ancient architectural inspirations.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Entertainment - These innovative designs present an opportunity for the art and entertainment industry to create more immersive and eco-friendly theatre experiences.
2. Architecture and Design - Incorporating circular designs and sustainable materials present innovative opportunities for architects and designers in the field to create new and innovative structures.
3. Tourism and Hospitality - The construction of these unique and innovative amphitheaters could attract more tourists to visit and attend performances, increasing revenue for the tourism and hospitality industry.
