Splitting and Doubling

Q1: Wagner's article explains talks about the emotions that are brought by the result of Gordon Matta-Clark's pieces. She says that "the result remade buildings as bodily-objects through which could be enacted conflicting impulses whether desires or fears." What does she mean by this sentence which she mentions later in the article as well. Is she saying the buildings can be experienced in fear or desire?

Q2: Matta-Clark has many explantions for he difference between architecture and sculpture such as that on is livable and one isn't. He explains that the difference between architecture and sculpture is 'whether there is plumbing or not'. What does this mean when he compares these two types of art to plumbing? I don't think I'm catching on to what she is trying to say.
