Gender, Sexuality and Space

Towards Acts of Architectural Disobedience

Abstract

Through a contemporary reading of architectural history, this text aims to elaborate on intersectional study of architecture and gender theory. The aspiration is to provide a critical model to overcome the anatomical, formal and identity politics readings that have dominated the study of the relations between gender and architecture so far. When the fabric of space contains a particular set of social relations, what space is granted to those who exist on the margins of white, male subjectivity?
