In 'Edificios-cuerpo', Juan Antonio Ramírez explores the complex relationships between the human body and architecture throughout history. From Vitruvius' reflections to the Christian symbolic interpretations of churches as the 'body of Christ,' the book examines how the anthropomorphization of architectural elements has influenced the perception and sexual differentiation of architecture. Habitable sculptures and humanized forms projected by architects and artists such as Caramuel, Ledoux, Le Corbusier, and Dalí are analyzed, as well as the contributions of contemporary creators such as Ernesto Neto. This work offers an innovative perspective on the connection between the body and the built space.
essayist, critic and professor of History of Spanish Art (1948–2009)
