Description

Theatres of Architectural Imagination explores the connections between architecture and theatre, encouraging imagination in building design and social spaces. This volume examines the relationship between theatre and architecture through essays, interviews, and entr'actes.

Contributions cover a global spectrum of examples, from ancient Rome to modern Europe, North America, India, Iran, and Japan, exploring topics such as the human body in design, city as a place of political drama, and world-making through language and gesture. The book also considers sacred and magical functions of theatre in Balinese and Persian settings.

Inspired by architect Marco Frascari, this collection performs as a Janus-like memory theatre, recalling and projecting the architect's task of reimagining a more meaningful world. It will be of interest to thinkers and makers in theatrical arts and built environment disciplines, particularly architecture, landscape, and urban design.
