Taboo and Transgression; architecture and desire...

According to what Bernard Tschumi has written for "The Pleasure of Architecture" article, architecture can be defined in many terms, even it can be feel and seen in sensuality. Sensuality and sexuality desire might be a sensitive issue to us, but in architecture terms, it can be something unique and stimulate one's thinking and feeling. For example, a dark and cold place usually can make someone's sexuality desire higher, just like a pub or club. In the other hand, a brighter place and crowded place will not giving a pleasure of sexuality. Hence, a space with different design will give different types of desire.

Why do certain spaces appear to prohibit sexual desire while other spaces encourage desire?

As I have mention above, space with different design and concept will appear to encourage different type of desire. For example, colour, lighting and exposure of one's area will influence in desire. When a place or space is in dark, cold colour and enclosed area, people will feel down and moody or if it is added with musics, it might stimulate one's sexuality desire. But if a space is design in a open space concept with warm colour, people will tend to feel freedom and happy, just like a temple, mosque and church, these places are usually design in open space and bright lighting, it must not design in dark colour as it would not be appropriate in public.

Is this a property of space itself or an order superimposed upon buildings?

When we passed by in any building or any space, automatically we will know what place is that. For example, when I passed by a boutique, i will know it is a boutique by judging the fashion clothes display in front of the boutique. This shows that the space itself is not a property of space, but it is an order superimposed by the owner to indicate his or her own identity. But sometimes when i want to choose a restaurant to have my lunch or dinner, i will tend to see the crowd of a place instead of the name, for example, if a restaurant has alots of consumers having their food, i will tend to go in that particular restaurant or cafeteria to try the food compare to a restaurant with lesser consumers.

What is the relationship between sex, place, and the bodily libido?

When a couple is sexually aroused, they will look at the place that they will be in. This plays a big role in arousing their sexual libido, as they will not be inclined to release their sexual needs in a space full of people. They will retreat to a space which is more secluded, giving them more privacy. the bodily libido depends strongly on the place that a person is in. it directly influences them show their sexual affection. in a hotel, the tendency to show sexual affection and high increment of bodily libido is more significant compared to a cemetery.
