The Emotional Potential of (Making) Architecture: Embodying Consolation Part 2 Project 2017 Eva Demuynck Catholic University of Leuven | Belgium As a way of coming to terms with the recent loss of my father, my main focus for this master thesis project was researching how space and matter can offer non-verbal consolation.
