Choreographed Spaces: Capturing the Ephemeral

Both dance and architecture serve as spatial arts that shape and define human movement, with dance embodying fluid, ephemeral structures in motion and architecture providing the physical framework within which movement occurs. This thesis explores the symbiotic relationship between the two disciplines, examining how architectural design influences choreography and how dance, in turn, informs spatial perception, dynamic form, and the experiential qualities of built environments. Choreographed Spaces aims to use dance and performance as a medium to generate architectural form and design.
