the book i am reading (slowly) had a section about the belief
in 'honesty in materials', that is, that there is some pre-
destined way that materials are to be used. [would that be
considered an a priori design inherent in, say, wood?]
in reference to the human skin, i would say that that would
represent the subject, H-in-M, whereas "clothing" might be
more analogous to adding a cornice (a hat to supplement the
eyelids, etc.)
then, thinking about the bound-feet and body manipulation,
including plastic surgery, and their equivalent in design...
what is this 'possibility of materials', human skin, fat,
silicone, concrete, titanium, cables, cantelevers...?
