In 'Pornotopia', Beatriz Preciado explores the relationship between architecture and sexuality through the lens of Playboy magazine during the Cold War. This essay reveals how Hugh Hefner, the creator of Playboy, conceived the magazine not only as a means of adult entertainment, but as an architectural-media project that sought to transform spaces of pleasure and consumption. Preciado takes us into the 'Playboy archipelago', a complex of mansions, themed rooms, and spaces designed for the production of pleasure and capital, inspired by the sexual utopias of Sade and Ledoux. This analysis offers an innovative perspective on the culture of mass media and the architecture of spectacle, examining the mutations from the Cold War to contemporary capitalism.
