In contrast to buildings divided by walls monospace buildings are determined far less by its
shell than by a reciprocal relationship between space and practices objects materials and
human bodies. Using the example of such one-room-architectures this book explores the
potential of an actor-network-theory (ANT) approach to space in the field of architecture.
Sabine Hansmann focuses on the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in Norwich England by Foster
Associates (1978) to investigate the mutual entanglement of people objects and building. She
traces the work that is necessary in »doing« space and thus suggests a re-conceptualisation of
space in architectural theory.
