The Nokia Theater
The ten month old Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, directly across the street just off Figueroa, next to the Staples Center and the Convention Center is a pretty impressive facility. It is said to seat 7000 folks, but feels much more intimate than that with its wide layout, and well-executed sight lines. You even have a drink holder for each seat and can bring wine and beer inside! Most of the world knows about the Nokia because it was the location of this year's American Idol finals. For Siggraph 2008, it was the site of the Siggraph Animation Festival. The recessed display case showing a kind of stations of the cross presentation of the evolution of the Nokia phone was a bit much, but I was impressed by the ever changing lobby walls and wanted to share them here. The plaza where the Nokia stands is going to be gateway to two large Convention Center hotels now under construction.
