Resumen

This article will discuss the Merzbau in Hannover as a "para-architecture" experience and as a doctrine on environmental comfort, connected to intense mnemonic feeling and relaxation. The Merzbau, the Gothic cubic "Traumhaus" (dream house) by Kurt Schwitters, is depicted here as a laboratory of sensory stimuli where an aesthetic control of oblivion, and of annoyance, has been practiced.
