A New Multipurpose Hall: Theater and Broadcasting Facilities

Hideo Moriyama

To provide a theater for widely varying presentations such as drama, opera, concert and light music and entertainment shows and also alternatively for broadcasting requires a separation of theater acoustic design and equipment from those for audio for television. Besides the separation of theater and TV audio controls the lighting requires similar treatment and all arrangements must allow for only theater personnel to work when there is no broadcasting. The architecture and the equipment for this facility are described. NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corp.) started the construction of this Hall in April 1969 and brought it to completion in June 1973 at Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
