" In the process of our socialization, the very first contact with a public building is no less important than the moment of social confrontation with the father, through which our sexual role and place is society is constructed.
Early socialization through patriarchal sexual discipline is extended by the later socialization through the institutional achitecturalisation of out bodies.
Thus the spirit of the father never dies, continuously living as it does in the buildinf, which was, is and will be embodying, structuring, mastering, representing and reproducing his 'eternal' and 'universal' presence aas a patriarchal wisdom-body of power."
