ABSTRACT
By tackling the participation of language how we experience and understand space, and especially built, architectural space, my reading uncovered a subterranean architectural discussion in Carroll's work that can be accessed by examining the relationship of space to plays on and with language. Caught in the power dynamics of their interactions, which enable and constrict their conversations, Carroll's characters find and define themselves and each other in architectural space. Practiced in the everyday, space is a socio-spatial formation. Like Carroll's words, it has the power to set our bodies and minds in motion, allowing us to dwell, momentarily, with the paradox. Architecture is emergent, and yet, it exists, for us, right here and right now. It is available to us as a site of mutuality. And without it, we cannot make place.
