Our sixth Books podcast features Richard J. Williams, author of Sex and Buildings: Modern Architecture and the Sexual Revolution, this week¡¯s Times Higher Education Book of the Week.

The University of Edinburgh professor of contemporary visual cultures is in conversation with THE¡¯s books editor, Karen Shook. They discuss Williams¡¯ scholarly ¨C and admittedly personal - search for the places form meets libido.

His quest took him from the stern streets of Morningside to Brazilian love hotels, Frankfurt¡¯s executive urinals and an odd evening in Wilhelm Reich¡¯s orgone accumulator, via Mad Men and the ¡®brick dick¡¯, and ending up in the home of ¡®pornomodernism¡¯, Los Angeles.
