Essay 4 Spatial Prosthesis / MANADA Architectural Boundaries
Prostheses were developed by human beings with two purposes: first, to correct a damaged organ?s function; second, to extend an organ?s inherent capability. For the sake of exemplifying, the glasses that an optometrist produces are corrective prostheses; the frames and their different dioptric powers help the user to recover the average eyesight of 20/20. The telescope and the microscope, in contrast, are extensive prostheses?offering the possibility to see things so minute and so distant that the naked eye would be unable to distinguish.
