The second chapter--assimilation, metabolism and a combination of the two will cover:
1. the architecture of the Renaissance as a manifestation of pure assimilation
2. the architectural texts of the Renaissance as another manifestation of pure assimilation, including the "new" Vitruvian Man
3. Michelangelo as the first truly metabolic architect
4. Baroque architecture as an architecture where assimilation begins to combine with metabolism
5. the architecture of the Enlightenment as an architecture where metabolism takes on a greater role than assimilation
