It seems fitting to inquiry into the condition of prostheses in relation to body and architecture.
The Vitruvian Man by Leanardo DaVinci draws out the condition of classical architecture as being proportioned to the human condition. Drawing out the proportional geometries found in man, Leonardo believed it was analogous to the workings of the universe… and my understanding is that within the architecture one is able to intuitively interpret this condition…
but modern man has slightly mutated since the mid 15th century.
Invisible to the eye but more or less present in its comical yet unfortunate condition, our proportions have expanded into more complex manners and extensions of the human body that once seemed impossible… and so in response to this, our architecture has blown into significant proportions of mass identity through the production of mass assembly and thus behold
the Vitruvianspector!
