In my 2nd year course on Body and Space at the architecture school ENSAPLV, I proposed this year as a reference and common thread the drawing by Leonardo da Vinci The Vitruvian Man. Inspired by this iconic image, the students raised questions about canons of beauty and norms, natural and constructed environment, identity and gender, communication and power relations. A set of works of this course has been presented at the ENSAPLV open house on February 4, 2023.
