"The city is the theatre of life" stated two experts in Urban Research, Ash Amin and
Stephen Graham, in their joint publication "The Ordinary City" in the late 90s. I like
this metaphor very much, as dramas, comedies or cliffhangers are performed on an urban
stage every day, and we are all part of this public performance.
I wondered why not expand this idea of a „public performance“ and consider the city itself
as a theatre. So I intended to examine who are the protagonists on such a stage of the city.
Thus I was looking for architectural "persons", whose roles are essential and formative
for the play and whose absence would make the story different. It is not about good or bad
characters, but actors, who embody their role authentically and memorably.
