(2014) Modern architecture in theatre, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Together, Art et action's five types of theatre modeled the elements of a modern town to envision a collective society based on artistic freedom, community, and public dialogue. Although their work was not broadly influential, some of the larger ideas emerged in post-war art, architecture, and criticism. Recently Bernard Tschumi and other architects have embraced a theatrical approach to urbanism as part of an effort to build lively and sustainable cities. In this intellectual lineage, reconsideration of Autant and Lara's work can make a significant contribution by reweaving the traditional interconnection between architecture and theatre.
