(2014) Modern architecture in theatre, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Architecture and theatre have long been allied in creating the characteristic events of the city. In the 1920s Parisian architect Edouard Autant explored the art of architectural design through a series of modern theatrical performances presented by Art et action, a company he formed with actress Louise Lara. Together, they merged British director Edward Gordon Craig's strategies for architectural set design with an approach to performance emphasizing multi-sensual simultaneity. In five types of modern theatre, they created spaces and performances that anticipate the architecture and actions of an ideal, modern city.
