Abstract
A reading of a text by John Donne provides the grounds for a consideration of several senses of the word 'matter': physical matter (something is matter); significance or importance (something matters); and a state of affairs (something is a matter that concerns us). Architecture, I suggest, is a practice of mattering. The importance of 'material thoughts' in the practice of the studio is asserted to be central to collectivity and collaboration.
