Architecture of Lust is a curatorial research project on multifarious expressions of lust within and around architecture. It creates methodology to research archival material, urban spaces and different imaginaries. Divided into three parts, spanning three years, Architecture of Lust moves from historical spatial fantasies to architectural form and finally to swarming materiality.
Spaces and theory intertwine as an attempt to explain lust if different temporalities - from 19th century moralistic urban fables to nascent cyberspace of early 00’s and contemporary fascination with the molecular.
During the first stage of Architecture of Lust theory-driven methodology was conceived and multiple spaces of transgressive and creative lust were identified and mapped out in Kaunas, Lithuania. Second part will take a close look at the materiality of the city through the research of wooden architecture and modernism’s heritage. The third state will be marked by the opening of temporal space.
