How well do our designed environments - the places and spaces where we live, work and play - meet our aesthetic and functional needs? Increasingly, the distinction between the spaces considered public and private or work and home are becoming more blurred. As a result, innovative designs are needed to meet the challenges of our ever-changing environment. Our streets, parks, dwellings and tools are designed to a ""one-size-fits-all"" standard, and the responses of the design community to meet diverse needs have been mixed at best. This work offers feminist critiques of these inadequate design standards, and suggests ideas, projects and programmes for change. Each contributor asks how we might think differently and more inclusively about human needs in the environments in which we live and work. The interdisciplinary essays reflect the writers' diverse fields - architecture, planning, industrial and graphic design, and architectural, urban and design history. Essays cover such subjects as rethinking the American city, graphic design and the urban landscape, working at home, special needs in housing, theories of women and design, redesigning architectural education, and a photoessay on industrial designs. A review essay of the literature in these fields rounds out the collection.

"Architecture and the arts have long been on the forefront of socio-spatial struggles, in which equality, access, representation and expression are at stake in our cities, communities and everyday lives. Feminist spatial practices contribute substantially to new forms of activism, expanding dialogues, engaging materialisms, transforming pedagogies, and projecting alternatives. 'Feminist Futures of Spatial Practice' traces practical tools and theoretical dimensions, as well as temporpralities, emergence, histories, events, durations - and futures - of feminist practices. Authors include international practitioners, researchers, and educators, from architecture, the arts, art history, curating, cultural heritage studies, environmental sciences, futures studies, film, visual communication, design and design theory, queer, intersectional and gender studies, political sciences, sociology, and urban planning. Established as well as emerging voices write critically from within their institutions, professions, and their activist, political and personal practices."--

Ruimte - zoals taal - is een sociale constructie en, zoals de syntax van zinnen, reflecteert en versterkt ruimtelijke ordening van gebouwen, kenmerken en eigenschappen van sekse, ras en klassenverdelingen in onze maatschappij. Het gebruik van zowel taal als ruimte draagt bij tot de macht van de ene groep over de andere en bewerkstelligt zo allerlei ongelijkheden. Vanuit deze visie is de vormgeving van de huidige architectuur een zaak van diegenen die de macht hebben om te bouwen. De auteur biedt praktisch advies aan ruimtelijke ordening-plannders, architecten, wegenbouwers en adviesorganen ter zake, om de publieke sfeer zo in te richten dat gelijkheid, veiligheid en comfort voor alle bevolkingsgroepen bevorderd worden.

At a moment when the architectural profession is beginning male orientation, this book examines how the introduction of woman to the main body of architecture might bring about a reconstruction of the orders that shape architectural production and consumption. The contributors were chosen not only for the distinguished practices they collectivity encompass_ from the intersection of theory and philosophy to the union of building process and industry. Together, they present a compilling and provocative critique of architectural culture.

We live in the city of men. Our public spaces are not designed for female bodies. There is little consideration for women as mothers, workers or carers. The urban streets often are a place of threats rather than community. Gentrification has made the everyday lives of women even more difficult. What would a metropolis for working women look like? A city of friendships beyond Sex and the City. A transit system that accommodates mothers with strollers on the school run. A public space with enough toilets. A place where women can walk without harassment.In Feminist City, through history, personal experience and popular culture Leslie Kern exposes what is hidden in plain sight: the social inequalities built into our cities, homes, and neighborhoods. Kern offers an alternative vision of the feminist city. Taking on fear, motherhood, friendship, activism, and the joys and perils of being alone, Kern maps the city from new vantage points, laying out an intersectional feminist approach to urban histories and proposes that the city is perhaps also our best hope for shaping a new urban future. It is time to dismantle what we take for granted about cities and to ask how we can build more just, sustainable, and women-friendly cities together.
