Corner / Edge / Angle

Corner, edge, angle - these fundamental elements of geometry permeate our thinking and language as spatial metaphors. Unclear thoughts seem convoluted to us, when the outcome is uncertain, something is on the edge, and without proper manners, we clash with others. In everyday language, neutral spatial terms acquire an emotional connotation. Corners, edges, and angles arise where bodies, surfaces, or lines meet. In architecture, they provide us with a spatial idea. They define, enclose, and span spaces. How can corners, edges, and angles be constructed? What significance do they convey as a result? The meeting point presents both problems and opportunities: the Doric corner conflict or the Miesian corner exemplify the potential that arises when individual elements or entire systems come together.
