Caryatid: Architecture and the Framing of Bodies

By David Turturo

A dissertation presented to the faculty of the graduate school of yale university.
This manuscript challenges predominant assumptions about the relationship between form, gender, and politics, beginning with architecture's origin-myth and continuing to the present. Turturo's research and teaching have been published in AA Files, Metropolis, and Paprika!, as well as in edited volumes and presented widely; most recently for the GTA biennial doctoral workshop, ETH Zürich.
