the only architecture designed to make something want out.

means An enclosure of bars, wires, or mesh built to confine an animal, person, or thing inside it.

from From Old French 'cage,' which came from Latin 'cavea' — a hollow place, an enclosure, a stall — itself rooted in 'cavus,' meaning hollow. The same Latin hollow gives us 'cave' and 'cavity,' so a cage and a cave are distant cousins: both are emptied-out spaces, though one holds you in and the other simply holds you.
