Emeritus Reader Dr Margaret Shewring Awarded Fellowship of the ABTT
Dr Margaret Shewring has been awarded Fellowship of the Association of British Theatre Technicians (ABTT). This is in recognition of her significant contribution to the revising of Theatre Buildings: A Design Guide (Routledge, 2010). This new edition (Routledge, 2024) has substantially re-written text with fresh images and entirely new reference projects, providing essential guidance for all those engaged in the design of theatre buildings. Margaret is the editor of this volume, being invited to undertake the role as the former Director of the Postgraduate Diploma and MA in Theatre Consultancy. The publication is written by a team of international experts, architects, theatre consultants, acousticians, engineers and industry professionals led by Tim Foster (Foster Wilson Size) and Robin Townley (CEO of the ABTT).
