Theatre and Architecture by Juliet Rufford

Theatre and Architecture by Juliet Rufford

Theatre and architecture are seeming opposites: one a time-based art-form experienced in space, the other a spatial art experienced over time. The book unpicks these assumptions, demonstrating ways in which theatre and architecture are essential to each other andcontextualizing their dynamic relationship historically and culturally.

'Theatre & Architecture is a really rich resourceThis short book is full of ideas, glancing between the opposing mirrors of theatre and architecture. A beautifully structured and wonderfully clear introduction to acknowledged areas of theory and practice that is brimming with ideas for further exploration. Rufford creates an excellent rapport with her reader, summarising complex areas deftly and handling a wealth of material in a way that is at once precise, astute and eminently readable.' - Cathy Turner, University of Exeter, UK
