Whether you think of architecture as "male" or "female", there is no doubt that buildings can suggest sensuality.Some buildings, like the X-rated temples of Khajuraho, India are explicitly erotic.
Other Buildings are sensuous becuase they are pleasing to both the eyes and the fingers.
Many people find adobe pueblo homes sensual, perhaps because they are hand-crafted from the earth.
Great architecture touches the soul and lifts the spirit. The most beatiful buildings also reflect our physical bodies and celebrate our senses.
Buildings that are bland, uninteresting, or downright ugly may strike you as neuter.
They lack a sense of masculine or feminine energy, and they do not appeal to the sense.
For some people, streamlined Bauhaus architecture can seem neuter. But for many people, the most simple architecture is also the most sensual. A Bauhaus building such as the Walter Gropius house shown here can express the best of teh physical and the spiritual relm.
What do you think makes a building "sexy"?
Fragment 1 : A double pleasure
The pleasure of space : Space planning that will inspire people. The pleasure of the space can't use words to descript, have to use the feeling. If the feeling right, i think you are success for the design.
Fragment 2 : Gardens of pleasure
Using the landscape design to create a pleasure feeling to the people. From the neo classical period it already have a picturesquare concept. The garden design can create a harmony or relax feeling to the surrounding.
Fragment 3 : Pleasure and necessity
Design something that for the need. It design for usage purpose and not only for aesthetic. It can't be only like fireworks... it shine for a while and it can't be sold or buy, but architecture is design for dwelling, function and stay longer.
Fragment 4 : Metaphor of Order - Bondage
In architecture, there is some bondage. There is always a guide line for everything. With this Bondage it can bring more better pleasure for the design.
Fragment 5 : Fragment 5 : Rationality
Rationality will let you have a good sense to create a better pleasure feeling to the design
Fragment 6 : Eroticism
Eroticism is different from sensuality. It is not the excess of pleasure but the pleasure of excess where architecture is not only about the sensuality, but it also about the mentality and sensuality.
Fragment 7 : Metaphor of seduction - the mask
There is alwasy a reason/meaning for a design. As we can know that it is the ' concept' . It is only how people going to understand the meaning of it by vision, experience the space planning or from the designer.
Fragment 8 : Excess
There is some limit which are pervered and prohibitions. It is not necessarily a matter of subversion but a matter of preserving the erotic capacity of architecture.
Fragment 9 : Architecture of pleasure
Design should consider the site, culture, aesthetic and function. It can increase the pleasure of the design if you consider all the method and problem.
Fragment 10 : Advertisements of Architecture
After you design a building, you might need to sell your idea to client. How you going to sell you idea if there is only a professional construction drawing which only you can understand. So it need to come out a presentation board to promote your design. It also can make your design more pleasure if you have a good presenter and also a good material and presentation method.
Fragment 11 : Desire / Fragments
Desire of architecture is a goal or aim to finish the final design and the fragments of the design which will be the scheme of the design which it need to be catogarize and reach the goal.
My point of view, by using our 7 sense and our knowledge, we can experience a good architecturte. And it also can encourage our sexual desire. The taboo and transgress of architecture are making impact to the architecture deisgn and it also inspire the pleasure of desire in a space and place.
