The new structure, whether it thoroughly reinvents or reinterprets the current design, will be a design statement as memorable as the current booth. The tkts Booth's Purpose: The booth's core function is to sell discounted day-of-performance tickets for New York theatres. The booth's broader function is to serve as a marker and resource for Broadway, the Theatre District, and all of New York's diverse performing arts. Program Requirements Summary: The booth is an intense, spatially compact environment, with tkts staff working inside and out to sell tickets and keep the lines moving. Given that all tickets are "day-of-performance," there are non-stop demands for current information, and current tickets, much of which are provided by electronic data links, while others continue to depend on hard copy information and ticket deliveries. The booth must serve these functions for almost two dozen staff and visitors. Outside, the staff and patrons are in a busy urban environment, sharing space with passersby, street entertainers and visitors. Key Requirements Site Design: must accommodate the ticket-buying public that lines up by up to 4,000 people at peak hours. The site will remain Father Duffy Square, a traffic island bordered by West 47th Street, Broadway, and Seventh Avenue. Father Duffy Square is a New York City park. Signage Design: must be interrelated with the structure, and must identify the booth from a distance, and must incorporate an effective display of information about ticket availability and cost. Structure Design Requirements: must meet the program requirements within less than 1,000 square feet. In addition,itshould be designed to allow for offsite construction and onsite assembly. Submissions are made anonymously. They require two 30x40 inch drawings, showing how the entry meets detailed program requirements. These requirements and the final jury list will be released in late June.
