Pérez Gómez, Alberto, 1949-

Polyphilo, or, The dark forest revisited : an erotic epiphany of architecture / Alberto Pérez-Gómez.

Cambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, ©1992.

xxvii, 311 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm

Departing from the conventional genres of architectural writing, this book is a completely original reflection on the erotics of architecture. Perez-Gomez retells the love story of the famous Renaissance novel/treatise Hypnerotomachia Poliphili in late twentieth-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 In the retelling, the forest has been replaced by the high- tech environment of appliances and airports.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.
