Abstract: In past practice, acoustics has been overlooked as a function of the architectural planning of motion picture theater structures. The need for and the extensive use of sound-absorbing devices in existing buildings have led to reliance upon corrective methods in the planning of new designs. The constructive approach to the solution of acoustical problems in new design is achieved only through proper determination of the basic proportions, cubic-foot volume per seat, and detailed form of the auditorium structure. The purpose of this paper is to show that acoustics can be coördinated construclively with the other primary functions of theater planning to develop a more efficient and more economical design and one that truly expresses modern and creative architecture.
