Introduction Although architecture has its origin in the need to respond to individual needs for security and shelter, man is a social being, and the impact of the works creates externalities that increase or destroy value in the environment where they are made. Undoubtedly the western architectural style is the great winner in the early twenty-first century, and its canons are imposed anywhere in the world, and it is important to note that it has one of its most fundamental pillars and its permanent reference in the Anglo-Saxon pragmatism of Sanders Peirce in the nineteenth century. Maybe it's time to rescue the post-pragmatic intellectualism of Eugenio d'Ors (twentieth century) and begin to pose very modestly the possibilities of a new approach to architecture. The architecture inspired by the human body uses the human figure as an inspiration for its works, and its objective is the design of architectural elements, singular buildings, and urban development that provide cities with an innovative aesthetic, reinforce their personality and offer important constructive challenges. In this book are described some projects that reflect the basic principles of the architecture inspired by the human body. Content 1. Principles 2. Origins 3. Proposals 3.1. London 3.2. Paris 3.3.
