{In German} In this article I want to talk about the relationships connecting architecture, body and language within the design process. The starting point is a statement given by the architects of COOP Himmelblau regarding their processes of finding and developing ideas. I would like to comment on this statement in three ways and, furthermore, put each comment into a historical context. The first comment will deal with the question of who is speaking during design process and what role the body plays. The second comment will focus on verbal impact, writing, and other ways which signify and describe bodies within the history of architectural theory. The third comment is an attempt to characterize recent relationship between architecture, body, and language.
