Abstract [en]
What else could geometry may mean besides a detailed and systematic metric encounter with earth (i.e. γεωμετρία = μέτρηση γης), as the etymology of the word suggests? Could notions of ‘geometry’ become supportive towards opening up how, today, we may reconfigure our relation with space and place at a time of crisis? And for whom? Could geometry enable us to reconfigure this relation as entailing a variety of topologies, figurations and meanings? Could we, with our student-teachers, children and locals endure a confrontation with the ‘echo’ of geometry in the urban scape as a continuum amongst the dis/appearance of its particularities, features, values, valorisations or, even, violations? A confrontation that involves a subtle interrogation of geometry’s echo today.
