This lecture uses the idea of the toy as it is employed in street art where when a work is considered an illegitimate representation it is sprayed over with the word ‘Toy’. I then use this idea together with the theories of the French existentialist philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty to explore how we understand the world phenomelogically through our body with the aim of discovering if un-designed spaces such as are found in nature can be considered architecture.
