New Circus. New Architectures? ^expired Free

• What are the epistemes and discourses of circus building?
• What social missions do circus buildings fulfil?
• How do circus buildings contribute to technical and aesthetic transformations of the circus?
• Which ideas of “work”, “art”, “entertainment”, “leisure” etc. are promoted through circus architecture?
• How do circus architecture and theatre architecture inspire each other?
• Which visions of circus’ future do circus buildings represent?
