"Insisting that the built environment housing the event is itself an event, this dissertation establishes a performative approach to architecture through the concept of event-space, a term attributed to contemporary architect Bernard Tschumi. Located at the generative convergence of performance studies and architectural studies, event-space is offered as a contemporary lens for re-viewing the 20th-century crisis in theater architecture, where the built form was negated in favor of more nonrepresentational spaces. A range of spatiotemporal models are identified and developed through an analysis of the revolutionary theories and practices of the historical avant-garde (1872--1947) and their pursuit of alternative sites in which to stage performance."@en .

"The theatrical avant-garde of the late 19th and early 20th centuries reacted not only against Realism and Naturalism in the theater, but also against architecture itself, resisting its undeniable monumentality, materiality, and stability. However, the complex role of the event in modernism's philosophical, political, and perceptual revolutions brought the built environment more in line with the dynamics of performance through the constitutive elements of time, movement, and action, thereby challenging architecture's status as fixed and enduring object."@en . .
