The figure against architecture

A solitary figure placed in direct relationship to architecture — dwarfing it, standing on it, or being defined by scale against it — recurs from The Thinker (1993) through later architecturally-engaged work including Towers (2002) and Skulptur Projekte Munster (2007). First noticed in this session while looking at The Thinker's figure fused with the roads/buildings of an invented small town. Not yet corroborated by a dedicated session on the later works — flagged here as a candidate throughline pending reinforcement.
