The "architecture of embodiment" is the research topic of Alex Arteaga. At the Department of Sound Studies at Universität der Künste, the sound artist and philosopher investigates the influence of a built environment on embodiment – in other words, the process in which people create the world and themselves as subjects through interaction with their environment. The multi-talented Spaniard studied music and architecture in Barcelona and Berlin. He then completed a doctorate in philosophy at the Humboldt University in Berlin.
