Attitudes toward abandoned theatres:

Network Design is a collaborative design process that involves every agent or citizen interested -architects, escenography, writers, actors- to

develop a new perfomative space.

Open Source Architecture is an emerging paradigm describing new procedures for the design, construction and operation of buildings,

infrastructure and spaces. Drawing from references as diverse as open-source culture, avant-garde architectural theory, science fiction, language theory, and others, it describes an inclusive approach to spatial design, a

collaborative use of design software and the transparent operation throughout the course of a building and city's life cycle.
