For Alex,

The definition ise from the book called, ecstacity, by Nigel Coates.

"Night clubs: The incubators of social discourse through the vehicles of body language and hedonism, and therefore employers of architecture as a manager of delirious space. Most cleverly designed nightclubs setup an innate theatricality in human behaviour, and to achieve this they disguise the logical disposition of space, in favor of staged animation. The music, the lights, and the smoke are more fundamental than columns or acoustics. Though they often pretend that you are on the street, or the factory, the fundamentals conceit is that they embrace the city by their very seperation from it."
