Description

A spirited abecedarium-style book that shows how architects have engaged with animals as references and metaphors in modern and postmodern architecture. Through an examination of 26 case studies (26 different animals explored by 26 different architects, from A to Z), The Architect and the Animal illustrates the various ways in which animals become reflective extensions of a predominantly humanistic-anthropocentric science and art, mirroring that of architecture itself.
