"The Tangible" is part of a series of lectures that began with "the Invisible". If "the Invisible" was that which lies behind the works, "the Tangible" would be the concrete, the material,

the perceptible, the physical,… reality. A reality that is mass and space but also living matter. An approach to understanding architecture as an interaction of all sensory modalities.
