This book focuses on the ephemeral architecture built for festivals
and shows how these constructions played a role in the development
of Western architectural and urban theory. Festival architecture
has allowed architects to experiment with new ideas, new forms and
new spatial arrangements.
With contributions from provocative art and architectural historians, this book is a unique exposition of the temporary architecture erected for festivals and the role it has played in developing Western architectural and urban theory. Festival Architecture is arranged in historical periods - from Antiquity to the modern era - and divided between analyses of specific festivals, set in relation to contemporary architecture and urban design ideas and theories. Illustrated with a wealth of unusual and rarely-seen images from the European festival tradition, this is a fascinating outline of the history of festival architecture ideal for postgraduate architecture and urban design students.
