Abstract
Ramírez compares fantastic literature with fantastic architecture and categorizes possible kinds of interaction. He comes close to the methods of literary topology, analyzing the descriptions of surroundings in several works of literature and showing how the fantastic aspect is demonstrated in them.
He also devotes himself to the phenomenon of Solomon's Temple, and to attempts to reconstruct it (by, for example, J. B.
Villalpando) that originated as a creative association of Biblical texts, archeological knowledge and architectural practice of the period. Ramírez also mentions the influence of these reconstructions on the settings of some Renaissance paintings.
In conclusion, he examines architectural utopias in fantastic illustrations for sci-fi journals of the first half of the 20th century in which the influence of contemporary architectural production of Modernism and art deco appears. Ramírez establishes that his concept of the iconography of the place makes it possible to study spheres apparently very distant in time and genre.
