"A Ricoeurian Approach to Hermeneutics of Architecture" by Dr. Luís António Umbelino, 24 February 2023 (Friday) from 3:00 to 5:00 PM IST at meet.google.com/pgs-omeh-uvo

Abstract
In the contemporary configuration of the stimulating field of Hermeneutics of Space, Paul Ricoeur’s approach to architecture and the historical, social, and narrative condition of human existence is of indisputable importance. Architecture (that is to say, the narrative prefiguration, configuration, and refiguration of built, humanized spaces) is a fundamental chapter of a hermeneutics of space as the latter can be pursued, with particularly convincing results, along Ricoeur’s phenomenological hermeneutic path.
