SPECIAL SERIES—2001-2010: CINEMA DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE<br />
The Industry Standard: In this issue, we continue and expand a new series of new-millennium reports begun in our<br />
February number, even as we debut a new special-report topic that will now always be a standing part of our March<br />
coverage. In this issue, we focus on the future of cinema design and architecture by interviewing a number of the<br />
top professionals in the field, to see what the likes of Berkes, Birtcher, Dimensional Innovations, Dworkin, Glatz-<br />
Jacobsen, Gould Evans Goodman, Mesbur & Smith, Montague and TK think the next big things are.<br />
24 NEW CINEMA DESIGN<br />
A return to the old. Balconies aplenty. The digital disappearance of the mezzanine and projection rooms. Food grills. The<br />
end of the megaplex. The decline of stadium seating. The rise of high-rise theatres. Giant yes, giant no. Woods and metals.<br />
Movable movie theatres. Motorized seats. Crying rooms. Theming and 3-D. And even clean restrooms—these and more are<br />
the forecasts of cinema architects and designers for the industry in the coming 2001-2010 era. By Melissa Morrison<br />
