ABSTRACT
As we open the eld of our modern situation, it is almost inevitable we should nd ourselves before the extent of fragmentation that resulted from the overthrow of traditional thought once dominant in the Western world. In our time, this broken mirror often strives to regain its identity from the enduring integrity of the phenomenon of body. And yet, the notion of body we inherited is itself founded on the very tradition modernity has sought to overcome. Still today our modern vision of space cannot aptly translate the expanse of the body that once presided over Western art and architecture.
