November 10, 2023How did they get a helicopter on stage (Extract of EP013: The G.W.A. Performing Arts Centre at Wellington College)
Wellington College wanted to bring a 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 inside the 𝗚𝗪𝗔 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲...

To do this, Alberto Favaro from Studio Seilern Architects explained in Episode 013 of the High Point podcast that they had to plan for:

- a 𝟱𝗺 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿
- some 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 on the side of the stage
----------------------------------------------------------
In this episode , we speak with Alberto Favaro of Studio Seilern Architects about the design and construction process of the G.W.A. Performing Arts Centre at Wellington College, London.
Inspired by Grecian amphitheatres and surrounded by forest, this circular structure clad in charred-timber, houses a 2,580 square metre auditorium with two-tier seating for over 900 persons, and equipped with the highest acoustic, audio-visual and stage lighting specification at its core.
We discuss:
How Studio Seilern won the contract

The design approach and challenges of building a theatre in a forest

The forest’s influence on the theatre aesthetics

Sustainability aspirations of the project

How the singular purpose of the theatre affected the design process

Putting a helicopter on stage

How to control acoustics in a circular theatre

November 05, 2023How on earth is that going to work acoustically? (Extract of EP012: The Theatreship project with Inigo Lapwood)
Extract of Episode 012 of the High Point podcast with Inigo Lapwood on the Theatreship project.
-----------------------------------------------------
Welcome aboard the only net zero theatre in the world!
Moored up in the historic docks of Canary Wharf, Theatreship will contribute to the exciting new development of the area, while reflecting and preserving local history.
This space will support and celebrate a range of art forms: from western orchestral music to Bengali cinema; from classics of queer theatre to local contemporary art; from academic lectures to theatrical workshops for kids. Globally recognised artists will perform alongside local and underrepresented creatives, drawing new people to the area and engaging the existing community.
Marc catches up with Inigo Lapwood, an expert in restoration and repair of historic steel ships and discusses:
Where did the ship come from?

How will it be converted into a Theatre?

Why is the history of the area so important?

How do you control the acoustics within a giant metal tube?

Creating the world’s first net-zero theatre (not just at sea!)

October 05, 2023Reproducing Concert Hall Acoustics with 45 Loudspeakers (Extract of EP011: Science of concert halls with Tapio Lokki)
In Episode 011 of the High Point podcast, Tapio Lokki explained the system (made with 45 loudspeakers) his has developped with his team to reproduce the acoustics of concert halls.
--------------------------------------------------------
Tapio Lokki is professor at Aalto University in Finland.
His passion is to understand how rooms modify the sound that we hear.
To pursue the encompassing understanding of room acoustics, his research team is investigating auralization, spatial sound reproduction, binaural technology, and novel objective and subjective evaluation methods, as well as physically-based room acoustics modelling methods.
Particularly, the interest has been in concert halls, in which the team has developed new measurement techniques, analysis methods for spatial impulse responses, and sensory evaluation methods to understand the perceptual differences between concert halls.
In this episode, Tapio talks to us about:
What makes a great concert hall.

What is reverberation.

How he and his team measure reflections using 45 Loudspeakers.

Measuring musical emotion in the finger tips and using it in the study of concert hall acoustics.

The difference between Vineyard and Shoebox concert halls.

Future of concert hall acoustics.
How wood fibre pulp is used as a net-zero sound absorber.
We also listen to some of Tapio’s recordings to compare the acoustics of the Berlin Concert House, Vienna Musikverein, Helsinki Musiikkitalo, and the Berliner Philharmonie.
