New York nightclubs, from the 1970s to the 1990s, were the center of an architectural and political revolution. From Danceteria to the Palladium, the Saint to the Area, Studio 54 to Paradise Garage, nightclubs contained, shaped, and propagated a very specific architecture: discotecture, the architecture of the disco, the creation of a space that enacted the period’s politics and social constructions related to architecture and urban planning. Discotecture is a continuous performance and a collection of assemblages that render visible the construction of bodies, technologies, media, and environmental ideas. In the interaction among designers and citizens, DJs and dancers, technologies and regulations, architecture plays a fundamental role in creating a space that welcomes unexpected kinships. Discotecture shows that what happened in New York’s nightclubs had a series of wide-ranging ramifications throughout the city, proliferating in all directions, and generating instability, emancipation, and dissidence in streets, homes, town halls, and governments.
