the baroque biotechnical

From Susanne Langer's "Feeling and Form":

From Geoffrey Scott's 'The Architecture of Humanism':
"They [the baroque architects] wished to communicate, through architecture, a sense of exultant vigor and overflowing strength ... a huge gigantic organism through which currents of continuous vigor might be conceived to run." (p. 262, note 4)
