Written for a symposium held at the University of Pennsylvania in March 1996. Since Greek antiquity the human body has been regarded as a microcosm of universal harmony. In this book the authors examine the relationship of the human body and architecture, framed by an appreciation of architectural historian and theorist Joseph Rykwert's influential work on the subject.
