The last few centuries, we have experienced or imagined spaces designated for desire. Things seemingly tailored by desire or is it desire which has been tailored by spaces? Whatever the case, there is a relationship between different kinds of architecture and desire, between their various forms and possibilities. A relationship that is sometimes actual and sometimes dreamed, imagined or planned. And when we think about or suggest some kind of architecture of desire, we are not only defining what architecture is but we are also defining desire. These questions will be answered by a 15th century monk of Renaissance.

The present case study, attempts to analyze the multiple expressions of the erotic other, through the study of erotic texts and images of the early Italian book of Renaissance Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, and at the same time analyzes the hero's erotic discourse for the objects of his desire; his beloved and the architecture. Throughout the book, the conceptual formula produced is that "a man desires the body of an object". Thus, as a conceptual metaphor of Polia's body, the notion that the building composes a body, like that of man, runs the whole work. Along with the hero’s inner psyche, fueled by the image of his beloved, "his outer world is changing, sometimes as locus amoenus and sometimes as locus terriblis." So these dreamy narratives, where the hero makes a journey and he is gradually initiated into a mystery - in this case in the mystery of love so that he can pursue the object of his desire - has been the subject of many and varied discussions. However, in this work it was chosen to analyze a specific issue that seems to have not yet been exhausted: HP as an early erotic architecture book.
