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.
