Provides an overview of a research area that combines geometries for groups (such as Tits buildings and generalisations), topological aspects of simplicial complexes from $p$-subgroups of a group (in the spirit of Brown, Quillen, and Webb), and combinatorics of partially ordered sets. The material is intended to serve as an advanced graduate-level text and partly as a general reference on the research area.
