Product Description

Product Description
Departing from the conventional genres of architectural writing, this book is an original reflection on the erotics of architecture. Perez-Gomez retells the love story of the famous Renaissance novel/treatise "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili"in late 20th-century terms. The original work, long a cult book among architects, takes place in a forest. In the retelling, the forest has been replaced by the high-tech environment of appliances and airports. Both versions exist somewhere in the borderland between fiction, theory and pornography.
