Architecture and Dance
Dance is a non-verbal expression and It has always been an essential part of human life that is used to express meaning or to communicate a message with people.
Dance as a discipline shares similar creative aspects with architecture, they both use and define space.
Dance is movement of the human body through space over time and architectural spatial qualities are experienced by the human body through movement over time.
