Theme Park Architecture

Theme Park Architecture has become a key discipline in the planning, design and production of major entertainment attractions. This creative yet specialized expertise integrates conventional building and systems planning and design with the unique and often highly technical demands of an exciting themed environment, ride or show. The famous adage, “Form follows Function” is aptly applied here, for it is our Guest’s entertainment experience and the aggressive demands for managing large numbers of visitors that guides nearly every aspect and decision related to themed attractions, and the architecture is no exception.

This orchestrated process brings together the basic design vocabulary of building orientation, scale, form and spatial organization; materials, textures, and colors, supporting technologies and local codes thus promoting the facility architecture to an equal partner with the show and ride in the production of a comprehensive Guest experience.

Architecture created for Theme Parks responds to the unique needs of fixed location entertainment attractions and venues just as intently as a hospital responds to detailed health care requirements or a hotel responds to the functions of the hospitality industry. Guided by a creative vision or story premise, ITEC Entertainment develops architectural concepts for major theme parks as well as smaller visitor attractions, retail and themed dining venues, establishing the design direction and criteria for the comprehensive documentation and execution of these very unique facilities. In this manner, Theme Park Architecture becomes an integral segment of a viable and sustainable theme park project.
