system . only fire alarm, smoke detector and
fire extinguishers are provided.
• Risers of the upper tier of the house were quite
high and thus, are very uncomfortable.
• The stage was not visible properly from the
corner seats of the house. even the screens
which were provided for the audience sitting
on the corner seats were not properly visible
due to the curvature of the stage.

Standards

most effective preventive method in case
of indoor fire. Hence a public building like
this must be provided with water
sprinklers.

175mm. here, risers measured about
200mm in the last row of the upper tier.
