Description: "Part architectural history, part cultural analysis and part travelogue, Sex and buildings explores how sexual attitudes appear in architecture. It asks what a sexually progressive architecture might look like--and how we understand some architectures as repressive. In search of the revolutionary, the enlightened and the buttoned-up, this book tours California's modernist houses, the Playboy Mansion, Brazilian love hotels, 1960s communes and the architecture of Man men"--Jacket, page [2].
