Sex and Architecture

This is lifted from the explanation at the request of a friend, a senior architect, about the implementation of Sex and Architecture Seminar, which quote this request "please explain a little intention of the theme, don't till the 'hot' come eeh no nothing ..."

Uh pretended not to know or just want to testing huh? Because the architect's must understood about the architecture and understand sex right he.he.he...

Well here is a brief description of the purpose of the seminar's Sex and Architecture. Expected from this seminar, there is no relationship or both have -- between sex and architecture.

For example, a hot Marilyn Monroe in one of the roles in the film The Seven Year Itch in 1954 there was a scene that waved raise the skirt just above the place (hole) that there is strong winds that blow up. Michael Jackson is also in one of his stage act play with the exhaled air from below. Marilyn and Michael are two people with different genders but they liked the scene winds.

The effect produced by the wind was different for men and women. The woman seemed embarrassed and tried to cover up her skirt flying wind affected, while the men even made the breeze to create an impression that power. In terms of architecture, the designer must be good at putting wind direction in order not to be vulgar, to display two opposite impression. That's the picture of sex and architecture.

Another example, if we look at Tugu Monas (National Monument) many argue that building is masculine because that display masculinity man (phallus). But what it really represents only the masculine? If we want to consider with a deeper sense, it represents the top of Monas loving relationship between man and woman (husband and wife) are reciprocal. Not believe?

Take a look and observe Monas. In sexology, that's represents the position where women is on top of men. Not to believe, too? See the picture, imagine in your mind there form the penis (phallus) which penetrate the vagina (yoni). Monas so it's not just a symbol of masculinity, but rather as a symbol of love that must be built in this country. Just the people have not realized, so they still fight each other all the time.

That explanation personal version, if you want to know more obvious explanation please read the leaflet, but if you want to know the details, please come to the seminar Sex and Architecture 25-26 March 2010 at Tarumanagara University Campus, he.he.he. ...
