Space Event & Movement: The Manhattan Transcripts, in which Swiss-French architect Bernard Tschumi, transcribed aspects normally removed from conventional architectural representation, like the complex relationship between spaces and their use. He believed that there was no architecture without events, actions or activity; where architecture must originate from ideas and concepts before becoming form, and cannot be dissociated from the events and movements of the living beings that inhabit it.
