Abstract

This article aims to shed light on a conception and representation often overlooked in architectural discipline historiography. It focuses not only on forms and objects but also on forces and bodies. For this purpose, a fragmentary genealogy of conflicts between schools, traditions, and architects is proposed. This genealogy will reveal how the technical rationality of the drawings at the École Polytechnique de Paris contrasted with the imagery of the École des Beaux-Arts in the eighteenth century. It will also explore how the dogmas of the Enlightenment were challenged by a Masonic architecture, seeking bodies and debauchery, as exemplified by the stories of the Marquis de Sade. Additionally, it will delve into how the abstract modernist diagram led by Le Corbusier was disrupted by the atmospheric energies, membranes, and sensitive bodies conceived by Siegfried Ebeling.
