Built Spaces: Earth-Sky and Human Praxes

APRIL 27-29, 2007 — Simon Silverman Phenomenology Center: Duquesne
University

The material expression of the human life-world is constructed by
establishing patterns oriented through, and by, the earth-sky relation.
Human socio-cultural praxes manifest spatially through establishing the
fundamental spatiality, “a level”—an equilibrium that is formed through
the collusion of the upright posture of the lived-body and the earthly
horizon, marking the measure of the earth-sky relation and human
experience.

Presentations may address any aspect of spatial production as long as
the aspect of “builtness” is taken into consideration. In other words
socio-cultural events are patterns that are always interlocked with
materially expressed spatial patterns. The phenomena that we want to
address in this conference concern our built environments. What is it to
build? What is a building, or buildings? How do we build? How does
building open a world, limit a world, destroy a world, protect a world,
or enliven a world? What are the many forms of human dwelling about
which building must address? How can we build a better world? Who builds
and why? What do certain forms of building do for us, or to us? Visit
our website: www.towson.edu/iasesp for further information. Deadline for
abstracts is *January 20, 2007*
