- Abstract
- This essay explores a form of architecture designed for the human body and simultaneously examines the exact point at which the body becomes human. Architecture is strictly anthropological. It is something that is needed by humans. The ‘human’ is identified as ‘the there’ – in a circulation of the sense – and he unendingly opposes the affirmative interrogation of the artefacts. The primitive artefact is architecture as a material necessity – a metonym for the stance of ‘the there’ i.e. the ‘human’. This contiguity provokes an operation of incorporation: ‘the there’ is the circulation of the sense at the moment at which the human senses make sense. This primarily consists of ‘thing-ness’ or dignity: in other words, the real intention of architecture. The essential notions deployed in this exercise are: stances, human as dis-stances and the significance of architecture. The text also encompasses the notion that architecture, the human, emptiness and well-being are verbs, and that architecture is a thing for the body, or an ‘infinition’ i for the body.
