description: In an age of fast-paced mass media and an enormous choice of home entertainment, it comes as a surprise to discover just how much creative energy and money is being directed towards new space for live performance at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Performing Architecture explores fifty of the world's finest twenty-first-century venues for live performance, as well as earlier buildings that have been recently refurbished or transformed, and shows that the buildings are as much the stars as those performing within them.
