The dream of Dora (Freud, 1905), fully crossed by spaces and architectural elements them-selves - streets, squares, house, room, railway station, concierge, apartment door is the starting point for an eminently speculative issues that these paper bring up. From this speech, anchored in architectural theory and psychoanalysis, I am working with the hypothesis that make architectural, much more than the physi-cal production of “scene takes place where our life” as wanted Zevi, is also, and perhaps mainly a demand unconscious psychic in nature. Thus, like the polysemy of the word as a result of the speaking subject, as Freud taught, or polyphony of this speech, as well understood Lacan, space architecture also expresses a “poliestesis”, a single direction, subjective (non) shareable for each subject in his experience there. I conclude by saying that, in addition to a set of widths, lengths and heights of the architecture is in itself and in itself a symbolic articulation and, as such, a particular manifestation of the unconscious. A point, incidentally, very well intuited by Ruskin, when he warns about the essentiality of architecture beyond its materiality. Without architecture, he says, cannot remember. Can we dream?
