Tiivistelmä
Modernism reduced architecture to measurable aspects and abandoned our basic contact with the world. To restore our connection, we should quest for the measurable, revaluate the relationship between architecture and our reality and seek appropriate spatial language that reflects our comprehension. As a response to the problem, this thesis unfolds analytical processes from several directions but concerns mainly on theatrical space, the events and their connections.
This thesis contains four main chapters. The first one reviews the limitation of modernism and states the necessity to restore the intangible quality of architecture. The Second chapter explores the authentic nature of theatrical space, the formation and semiotics meaning of theatrical elements and the spatial influence on performance relationship. The third chapter proposes architectural translucency that refers to active, flexible architectural position and ambivalent spatial strategy, with an attempt to escape the limitations of modernism. The fourth and final chapter is an experiment, applying the prior research to the design of a site theatre.
