Rehearsing a performative theory for architecture2022 •
This chapter aims to narrate the various interpretations of Performance and Performative and explore their ability to be imported, from various disciplines, into the spatial design theoretical discourse. More over, it will be examined how, despite many interpretations and definitions, they still converge and intersect in a common general theoretical approach. A performative-oriented architectural discourse pushes the discipline to discover new perspectives and newer spatial and mental qualities that rethink the notion of creativity and suggest new performative approaches to spatial design and research that are worth being invested in a psycho-pedagogical discourse. This paper will also explore the possibility of shaping an architectural theory based on the performative concepts and rehearse that theory. The focus will be on the main concepts of the Performative: the scenic potential, the open-form, and flexibility, the social and the participatory, the event-character in spatial situations, the transformative power of architecture, the strategic attitude towards spatial design, and the performative mental skills.

Performatives1984 •
Austin initially set out a distinction between what he called performatives and what he called constatives. 1 The latter consisted of statements and assertions , etc., acts which had the property of being true or false. The former on the other hand were not bearers of truth or falsity, but were rather charac-terised as sayings in which doings were accomplished. Thus in saying "I promise" the speaker thereby promised. Further such acts as promising could only be performed if certain conditions obtained, if certain conventions were conformed to. Acts of this sort which failed to so conform were labelled unhappy , there being various ways in which an utterance could be unhappy, e.g. saying 'I do' in a marriage ceremony when one was already married made that act of 'marrying' void. But Austin came to reject this performative/constative distinction when he realised that constatives too, were sayings in which things were done, were conventional acts with felicity conditions, and when he began to think that all speech acts were subject to assessment, and that the truth/ falsity dichotomy was simply a dimension of assessment. The performative/ constative distinction was replaced by his theory of illocutionary, locutionary and perlocutionary acts. These latter vcere dimensions of all speech acts. The locutionary dimension was that which consisted of the words thought of as sounds, as elements of a vocabulary and as syntactically ordered sequences. (The locutionary dimension included this much and more, since Austin included in it sense and reference. What precisely Austin meant to include in his locutionary act is problematic.) The illocutionary act was the act conventionally clone in producing a sentence, e.g. making an assertion, issuing a command, and the perlocutionary effects were those produced by performing an illocutionary act, e.g. telling him that so and so had the perlocutionary effect of convincing him. Whether or not the distinctions between locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary acts can be made good is a matter of dispute, but at least it seems clear that Austin's attack on the performative/constative distinction was in part successful-constatives are as much speech acts as Philosophical Studies 45 (1984)

BOOK CHAPTER: Space—Actant—Event: A Performance Art Criterion2018 •
This chapter explores the space of performance art within the critical discourses of spatial dialectics and actor-network-theory to consider how performance space can itself be considered an actant in the event of performance art. Analysing specific performances within Kaldor Public Art Projects #27: 13 Rooms 2013, I reflect upon the ways these performances address how we shape and negotiate individual and collective space. Performance art practice is positioned at the forefront of this activity, seen as providing an alternative framework for reimagining and redistributing spatial relations through form, content and context. Thus, the space of performance art is cast as vital to performance art, a productive performer in its own right, exerting its own force of intelligibility and habituation.

"The Playing Field: Performative Speech Acts and Architectural Practice"2014 •
The Civic Stage, edited by José Esparza Chong Cuy, the curator of the New Publics programme, explores the idea of a crossover between reality and fiction. The public programme was performed through speech, body and civic acts on a civic stage, a public platform that visitors, passerbys, and all Lisbon residents were welcome to use. Editor: José Esparza Chong Cuy Contributors: Reinhold Martin, Victoria Bugge Øye, Pelin Tan, Daniel Fernandez Pascual, Noura Al-Sayeh, Brian Kuan Wood, Frida Escobedo, Tobi Maier.

In this essay I discuss a series of art installation cum performance events called TGardens. These tangible environments'computationally augmented media respond to the improvised gesture and activity of theirinhabitants. They were designed as phenomenological experiments about interaction andresponse, agency, and intention. I describe the architecture of these performative spacesin enough detail in order to be able to address certain phenomenological questions aboutagency and the continuum of intentional and accidental gesture in the dynamical substrateof calligraphic media without grammatical superstructure.

Performative Interiors: Terminological and Theoretical Reflections on the Term 'Performative'2019 •
‘Performative’ is an emerging term in architectural discourse. The word ‘performative’ is able to describe spatial qualities and design approaches. The term is mostly linked to the concepts of open-form, and flexibility which are characters that give the spatial design a strategic aspect as the ability to anticipate and host predicted and unpredicted occurrences, and to adjust to future changes, which also gives architecture the character of an unfolding ‘event’ in time and in space. This paper seeks to investigate the terminological and the theoretical dimensions of the term ‘performative.’ Keywords: performative interiors, flexible architecture, design approaches, openness, strategic design

BEYOND LANGUAGE: performing “true-meant design;” “that risky and dangerous negotiation between a doing… and a thing done”2016 •
This chapter, acknowledging the stage as a liminal space existing both before, through and beyond language, proffers it as a site for designing inter-textual, intercultural and interdisciplinary Shakespearean utterances liberated from the burden of an ‘original’ language. Interlaced with statements contributed by scenographers in Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Holland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore and Venezuela, the text explores how the spatio-visual dramaturgy of scenography contributes its own language as performative (active and abstract) rather than connotative (descriptive and mimetic) utterances. This furthers J.L. Austin’s argument in How to Do Things With Words, where ‘speech acts’ expand beyond language into action itself – saying can be enacting rather than describing. If within the illocutionary act of speaking something is being done, which constitutes action itself, then within the illocutionary act of designing something is being done through constructing and crafting thought. Just as statements can be active rather than descriptive, the material, gestural and spatial elements that accompany them also contain a performative force, suggesting How To Say Things Without Words, or in the case of this chapter, How Scenography Does (With and Without Words).
