Celia<\/em>: The Co-Evolution of Language, Interaction and Architecture<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

CELIA is a loosely-knit interest group which formed as a result of a workshop initiated by the InteractionLab and Kenan Hochuli from the University of Z\u00fcrich (see description, program and abstracts below). The group comprises established and early career researchers from a variety of disciplines interested in the exploration of spatial, linguistic and interactional aspects integrating evolutionary and archaeological perspectives. Currently, the group is planning a follow-up meeting in February 2026. As our plans become more concrete, updates and information will be available on this page. If you would like to join our group, please send an email to antje.wilton[at]fu-berlin.de. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workshop 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Co-Evolution of Language, Interaction and Architecture: Interdisciplinary Perspectives<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Exploring the dynamic interplay between human interaction and architecture, this workshop investigated how humans through time have shaped and adapted their surroundings to fit practical as well as social purposes, providing a locus for these activities. Emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach, we presented contributions that highlight the co-evolution of language, interaction, and the material environment from their disciplinary perspectives, from such diverse areas as linguistics, sociology, architectural studies, (experimental) archaeology, anthropology and primatology. The aim was to provide an informal platform for discussion and exchange, identifying potential avenues for future research and collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
