article⁄Trajectories of Performative Materials (2013)
abstract⁄An enduring consideration within architectural discourse, the notion of performance is intrinsically embedded within design. Over the past several years, architecture has been increasingly attentive to the framework of performance and its potential contributions to contemporary issues within the field. Numerous derivatives of the word performfor example performance, performative, performalism, performalisthave been applied to architectural contexts within several significant publications providing evidence of the mounting interest of researchers, academics, and theorists to this premise. Within his essay ‘Architecture as Performative Art,’ architect and historian Antoine Picon remarks, ‘From its Renaissance origins, architecture inherited a concern with effectiveness that other arts did not possess,’ Grobman and Neuman 2012 while also emphasizing that current inquiry into performative criteria within the profession instigates even broader aspirations. Contemporary research surrounding performance in architecture articulates mediated aspirations that negotiate between quantitative and qualitative measures.
