PERFORMANCE OF ARCHITECTURE and (or) ARCHITECTURE AS PERFORMANCE ............. And, once again, Roland Barthes’s profound idea that Photography does not touches art through Painting, but through Theatre through its functions, not through visuality. “This is why function of architecture is not only utilitarian (having in mind the fact that without utility there is no architecture), but is a complex system of answers about different existential needs – economical and ecological, aesthetical, social, cultural, psychological, philosophical, ethical, political etc. Architecture as a system of thinking about space establishes relation towards all of these problem aspects simultaneously and becomes an ideological category per se. Since human life represents a basic and essential object of architecture machine, not as a scene, sculpture or designed artefact.” Thinking about the function OF instead of function IN architecture led me to understanding of the word “function” as pluralia tantum, or even as material noun. At the same time, I understand architecture as a framework for event, a liminal space of existence. If we accepted that the event “is a dot” element of space-time continuum, it is clear that the four-dimensional space of our existence is the space of spectacle.
