Abstract

The article presents the author's comments on how architecture and design of public spaces and buildings be done with fundamental thinking, and not as an expression of human sexuality and power. The author mentions his own book "Building Sex: Men, Women, and the Construction of Sexuality," which focuses on sex and architecture. The author emphasizes on the need to revalue the interior and start from the qualities of the interior that come from furniture and furnishings.
