This work examines how changing conceptions of the human bodyhave been interpreted within architectural theory since thewritings of Vitruvius in the first century AD. It will examine howmeasures of the body have affected ideas of architecturalcomposition, and how they are used as an ethical imperative, suchthat a building which reflects the proportions of a ?well-composed?body (Francesco di Giorgio), is itself an injunction to?composure,? or appropriate behaviour. It will argue that modernarchitecture, while rejecting classical anthropomorphism, wasnonetheless influenced by ideas and practices arising from thestudy of the body in anatomy. It will then examine phenomenologicaland hermeneutical conceptions of the lived body, giving rise to arenewed conception of anthropomorphism as the manifestation notonly of human form, but of human sentience. The work will provide afoundation for scholars of architectural history and theoryinterested in the ongoing role of the body in architecture.
