PER FORMA _ New Space Theatre of Nations' and MARCH Architecture School

In Autumn 2016, The New Space Theatre of Nations' and MARCH Architecture School offered choreographers and architecture students to comprehend and find a form for four significant architectural treatises and texts from the 15th to the 20th centuries — Antonio Filarete’s, Nikolai Gogol’s, Adolf Loos' and Le Corbusier’s. The text could be read literally or metaphorically, could be used as a synopsis or as a source of inspiration, but it should remain the core of the joint performance.
