Summary:

"The experience of architectural spaces is formed by the way they are staged. The Drama of Space examines architectural spaces in terms of spatial dramaturgy, as a repertoire of means and strategies for shaping spatial experience. This fundamental approach is presented including detailed analyses of 18 international case studies. The book ends with a systematic presentation of the dramaturgy of space in architectural design"-- Provided by publisher.
