"A collection of essays that speculates both about what architecture makes of theory as well as what theory makes of architecture"-- Provided by publisher

Exploring the intersections of architecture and biological life during the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and modern times, this book reveals the complex relationships that shape architectural ideas. It argues that architecture emerges from the dominance of human existence while simultaneously being indifferent to the life it encompasses. This asymmetrical dynamic highlights how life prioritizes its expansion, offering fresh theoretical insights into the essence of architecture and its role in human experience.
