amphitheater architecture

Amphitheater architecture refers to circular or oval outdoor structures designed for public performances, like theater, sports, or events. They feature tiered seating that surrounds a central stage or arena, allowing audiences to view performances from all angles. The design emphasizes acoustics and sightlines, ensuring everyone can see and hear clearly. Classic examples include the Roman Colosseum. Modern amphitheaters may incorporate natural landscapes and use durable materials. Their purpose is to create an engaging, inclusive environment for large gatherings, balancing aesthetics, functionality, and acoustical considerations.
