An aftermath of the yet infamous blog "post-systemism|post-post-Euclideanism",such a sequel gives forth a more professional asset to a post-systemic paradigm currently under way in architects' subconscious but not yet adopted. Hopefully,rhizometects (architects who want to embrace to a post-systemic paradigm) will epitomize an incest,rendering a successful symbiotic metamorhposes b/w our post-systemic subconsciousness and our will to an abortion of all preconceived platonic conceptions.

Can we/when are we able to speak of a building's sex and/or gender !

Is it gender-neutral or can we determine its sex and gender?
Can a building be a he or a she, and are we able to determine a building's sex gender; or are buildings gender-neutral?
First, can we determine a building's sex and gender/ sex refers to the male and female duality of biology and reproduction. Gender has more to do with identity than biology. It determines the state of being male or female or neither. Wikipedia Encyclopedia

If sex has relation to biology, then in architecture, does it refer to the elements used?And if gender has to do with the identity than biology, then in architecture, does it refer to the functionality of certain architecture?An answer to the above dilemma will periodically be posted synchronous to my final senior project thesis and the implementation, possibly, in an architectural endeavour epitomizing the questions:

Why don’t we tell if a building is a female or a male and When can we tell if a building is a he or a she. Should we look at certain elements to determine a building’s sex and gender, should we look at the buildings’ functions. Is it a visual identity, or is it related to its structural complexity, the use of many elements, or is it its name, is it the functional integrity inside the building itself that determines its sex and gender. Are we able to determine it by vision? Are we able to determine the building’s sex and gender through our senses?

And when are we able to generate a building that is either a he or a she or a gender-neutral?

Latter to come in this blogspot rhizometectural outputs and epitomes to above profound questions.
