How to build auditoriums that safeguards function, a desireable space and satisfied users?

For many, building an auditorium is about choosing a chair. For us in Fora Form, the project begins around what the user should experience in the auditorium: A conference room often has functional requirements such as a writing board and interaction with the lecturer, while a cultural hall is about sitting well to enjoy the experience. A number of the building requirements are the same, but the purpose of the space determines the choice of chairs and functionality to give the user the best possible experience. In this article, we want to give advice for those who are interested in building good auditoriums.

What is the main goal of the auditorium? Should the auditorium accommodate as many people as possible or should users experience the best in within comfort? Based on the purpose of the hall, you also define which functional requirements are set for chair selection and layout of floor plans. We must take into account the area we have available and the best possible sight lines to ensure a good hall. Area disposition and technique often go hand in hand. Therefore, it is a good idea to have a good idea of ​​what technical means the user should experience. Early involvement and expertise towards the project is a key to a successful hall.

"Based on the purpose of the auditorium, you also define the functional requirements that are set for chair selection and design of floor plan."

The definition of purpose has given you a number of preconditions for chair choices: the extremes are space or comfort. Often the solution lies somewhere in between, as an auditorium rarely has one purpose alone throughout the day. This also provides good synergies for value creation and efficient land use.

If a room is to be used throughout the day, more frequent cleaning is often required. Different anchor points have different qualities. While the mounting bracket provides effective cleaning for the unobstructed use of mop and vacuum cleaner, the requirement for structural design increases. On the other hand, floor-mounted chairs have lower constructional requirements and lower costs.

The purpose of use that was decided at the beginning of the project and attachment point to the foundation has defined some requirements for chair selection. We must consider other aspects such as the possibility of a writing board and whether it should be fixed or foldable. A fixed mounting plate will take the space available in the length of the room, while a fold-down table will reduce the number of chairs on each row. Armrests, material choices and access to power are also issues that help define the chair choice.
