This thesis examines a number of historical, mythical§and theological interpretations of women and the§female body, as perceived by the ancient Greeks and§by the religious writings of Christianity and§Judaism, as a means of addressing the site, program,§materiality and spatial organization of a maternity§prison. The setting up of a parallel spatial,§material, and metaphoric association between the§productive body of the mother and the edifying body§of the prison aims to make palpable in architectural§form the transitional internal experience of women§through their pregnancy and into motherhood. Themes§of sin, punishment, confinement (containment), and§redemption as related to women, drawn from the§misogynistic connotations imposed by associations§with mythical and allegorical figures, are used to§form critical spatial, symbolic and literal design§relationships between the female body and the body of§the prison.
