The Architecture of Staged Realities
Within the framework of The Architecture of Staged Realities, Het Nieuwe Instituut and curator Saskia van Stein have invited various designers, artists, scientists and other authors to reflect on the current significance of Walt Disney's legacy, drawing on their own (embodied) knowledge or (lived) experience.
Lara Schrijver
Growing Up a Disney Girl

"Main Street" and the Architecture of Illusion
Architecture researcher and historian Léa-Catherine Szacka explores aspects of the architecture of staged realities, looking specifically at the Main Street as a case study, and reflecting on ideas of placemaking and performativity built on façades.
