09/12/2010 Guest Lecture by Sarah Bonnemaison: Festival ArchitectureLectures
Festival Architecture
Festivals come and go but their impact on local culture is long lasting. Why do festivals occur and what are the spatial manifestations of these events? To answer these questions we look at a case study, the Indian Ramlila, to understand how it turns a small town into a stage.
