Performative
The term performative, within the context of architecture, refers to the way in which a building or space can be designed to shape human behaviour. By understanding how user's interact with a space and their response to a built environment, an architect can create a space that meets the needs of its occupants. Such spaces are designed to take into account the physical, psychological, and social aspects of the users and their environment. By taking into account the effects of a building or space on user behaviour, an architect can design a space that is truly performative, one that encourages user interaction and enhances the experience of the occupants.

Performative
Masonry architecture is an ancient form of construction which is based around the use of brick, stone and other heavy materials. Its use dates back centuries and is still employed in many of today's buildings. Within the context of architecture, the term “performative” refers to the use of materials, forms and techniques to achieve a specific aesthetic or functional purpose. It is a creative approach to design which seeks to push the boundaries of traditional masonry construction, allowing for unique expressions of style and function.
Aesthetics, sustainability, flexibility, efficiency, craftsmanship.
