Abstract
After the “Phenomenological Turn” in architecture in the 1980s certain ideas and terms became embedded within architectural discourse and a renewed interest in phenomenology is to be found. This paper argues that a relationship of considerable sanguinity can be found between the theories of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze. However, there is a precise point where their thoughts diverge. Phenomenology, despite its avowed attempts to displace the subject in the world, adheres to a proprietorial subjectivity to which the world lends its powers. This is ultimately in stark contrast to Deleuze's theorization of a post-human subjectivity that is a contraction of the forces of the world. This is a journey that takes us from Flesh to House.
