Performing Architecture
Architectural Thesis_MArch II | HKU | Sony Devabhaktuni
The art industry produces. Art tourism consumes. An art amenity is a process that bridges the spectrum.
The thesis aims to reconstruct the theatre process and create a city route of immersive cultural experience. Theatrical architecture is re-defined by blending and re-distributing traditional production, performance and spectator spaces. The rapid exchange of roles between performers and audiences is expected as a result. |
In line with the evolution in theatrical architecture towards a dynamic experience, spatial arrangement in orchestrating movement and event in everyday life is investigated. By exploring a new language of theatricality in the urban, architectural and installation scales, the performing nature of architecture can transform passive audience into an engaged participants and ultimately a cultural activist. By developing the menu of theatricality, it aims to inspire users to engage in the spatial construct as collective, group or individual contributors.
