Frances to Luis Fontanills architect...
Permit me to start a new topic on the subject of delimited spaces
that are "commandeered" or "constructed" and which may be found
or made by nonhuman organisms to rest in or live in, such as
hollows and caves or hives and nests and dens. It is my ongoing
curiosity as to whether your field of study permits such
habitants and habitats into its arena of its theoretical
interest. This admission may also include the use of say caves by
humans as permanent living quarters, and whether such "natural"
areas are held to be architectural in some way. This curiosity
assumes that architecture as a general kind of object or typical
class need not necessarily admit token edifices that are
aesthetic or artistic; but that might be another issue to wrestle
with.
