    Abstract: A theater has a pair of perpendicular front walls and a pair of perpendicular rear walls, with each of the front walls parallel to one of the rear walls. A screen wall tuncates the corner between the front walls and is bisected at its center by a diagonal which bisects the space delimited by the front walls and rear walls. A pod of four theaters is arranged so that their truncated rear comers converge in a common area, and a projection booth is built above the common area to house the projectors for all four theaters.
