[…] sexuality and love do not live in the bedroom of Oedipus, they dream instead of wide-open spaces, and cause strange flows to circulate that do not let themselves be stocked within an established order. Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari[1]
Lover, beloved and the space between them […] There is something essential to eros here. Anne Carson[2]
Building on the remediating orientation set by the “Fixing” issue of Interstices: Journal of Architecture & Related Arts, Issue 23 invites papers that inquire into the coupling of love and architecture. We ask how love is, or may have been, an underlying motivator of built and speculative spaces and how the materiality of both may sustain object-attachments for ongoing expressions of amorous affect?
