dc.description.abstractThe superhuman is a notion of mankind's relationship between himself and his tools. This bound condition of dependence with ingenuity both liberates his body from mortal perils and binds him to indefinite dependence with the complex, the external, and inhuman. Architecture as an extension of mankind's agency which asserts and protects his will against unknown forces contends with this implicit contract; a contract and paradox most poetically considered in our earliest Western myths.en
