Beyond Homo Ludens: Architecture and Mathematics

Abstract

This ‘Letter from the Editors’ introduces two theories about the role of play in culture and society. Drawing on the work of Roger Caillois, the editors identify two types of play, broadly aligning each to the concerns and approaches taken in the two parts of this issue of the Nexus Network Journal. Thereafter, they introduce the papers that make up the second part of vol. 20, no. 1 (2018).
