Space, Theater, Architecture. The place of theater in the teaching of architecture

Abstract

In researching the connections between Theatre and Architecture, without the need to go in depth, it appears that both the theatrical piece and the architectural work give shape to spaces. There are many similarities between Architecture and Theatre, and this lead us to the certainty that to reflect on the performing arts, to design a scenography, collaborate in the learning of Architecture. To show it, in a first act, this communication is located in Germany Weimar Republic, in the Bauhaus, a School that undoubtedly constitutes a fundamental reference in the subject that concern us. The second act relates the experience of ETSAB Barcelona School of Architecture. And concluding, an epilogue opens the scene to others experiences in Schools of Architecture and Theatre in Spain and Europe. The Theatre has an immense field of action in the teaching and in the research of the Architecture.
