ABSTRACT
Each was published in collections themed around the renewed interest in
the body in architecture. Their authors speak from leading educational in-
stitutions, one a respected authority in the twilight of a scholarly career; the
other emerging at the bleeding edge of architectural design. Both reclaim the
potential of what they present as a neglected or disparaged “body analogy”
as a site for contemporary architectural practice. The first, from a text called
“Body and Building,” seeks to recover an antique analogy in order to stabilize
architecture within a chaotic and alienating present, while the second, “From
Body to Blob,” calls for new analogies better able to articulate the complex
webs of identity in our wired world.
