Abstract

Modern techniques and technology are introfuced as an effictove factor in achiving the flexible use and in changing the foem and the utilization of the auditoriums and the stage eeasily. Which helped the emergance and spread of new types of performance events in one place. The orign of ghese auditoriums return to Gropius’s tatal theatre at the beginning of the 29th centuey. Modern technologies include mechanization systems foe floor, wall, and ceiling. The research problem focuse on the lake of available studies on the impact of modern technology and mechanization on the intgration of the use of the multi-use auditoriums. Thus the research amis to determining the role of the floor automation in the auditorium and the stage to achieve functional intgration (dramatic, musical, operatic, ect.) in one. The research suggests that the flooe automation in multi-use auditoriums if akey factor in achieving different uses. The research review a number of examples of multi-use auditoriums of the 20th and the 21st centuryillustrates the evolution of this tupe of auditoriums and the impact of mechanication and technology development.
