Relevance to Geoffrey's Research

Bucchioni is relevant to Geoffrey's research on the ontology of the everyday built environment. His "third way" between realism (ordinary objects are mind-independent physical objects) and eliminativism (ordinary objects do not exist) provides a philosophical framework for understanding architectural objects as doubly dependent — on physical matter and on collective intentional acts — which connects to debates on architecture as cultural production vs. physical construction.
