Summary

The research paper examines the links between architecture, art and theoretical thinking around the concept of the body in the contemporary epoch. According to the hypothesis of the research, the way in which the body is represented or used in architecture and art is directly interwoven with what is recognised by each particular epoch as a standard in aesthetics, science and ideology. The body captures and recreates this proximity with ideas and aesthetic vehicles that interchange, whilst reconstructing the image and structure of both physicality and space. The body is examined in this light, as a meeting place of successive interpretations of architectural and theoretical thinking, in order to feed architectural research towards new procedures of understanding, feeling and creating space. Specifically, the research moves into three distinct sections:-In the first chapter the role of the body is examined for consideration of space and architecture with emphasis on the twentieth century. -The second chapter is a reference to the basic considerations for the physicality on the part of contemporary theoretical thought. -Finally, the third chapter focuses on examples of art and architecture associated with body and space and in particular the work of photographer Francesca Woodman and architect-artist Gordon Matta-Clark. Accordingly, the aim of the research is to understand the different but correlated approaches around the concept of the body in the fields of art, architecture and contemporary thinking
