  Triangulating the Bodies of Architecture
  The Meeting will explore the complex overlay of theory, research, and making in architecture as the basis of various critical explorations concerning the body: from scale, presence, kinesthetics and tactility, to immateriality and disappearance. This Meeting will explore these domains of inquiry - theory, research, and making - in order to investigate the respective views, languages, and concepts concerning the body that each domain assumes, and to challenge it.
