Buildings have always been an expression of human sexuality. In this book, architecture critic and curator Aaron Betsky takes a look at the man-made world and concludes that it is just that: made by men and not women. The structure of buildings and the layout of cities in the modern world have almost always been determined by men, and the abstract and alien order of grids and columns that has resulted imprisons us in a way of living based on repression and, in some cases, oppression. By contrast, it is women who create the interior spaces within these man-created environments. Comfortable, beautiful, seductive, and logical, these interiors act as areas of escape, self-definition, and sometimes even revelation. Drawing on a wide range of architectural examples, from African mud huts to modern apartment complexes, Betsky explores what effects this division of architectural labor has had on our sensibilities and, indeed, on how we relate to one another as men and women. He believes that although it has always been thus, we do not have to live within this dichotomy between the exterior and the interior, the made and the lived, the masculine and the feminine, forever. It is possible, says Betsky, to create "spaces of liberation, spaces in which we can re-construct our selves and our world."

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.

Les revendications féministes actuelles dans le domaine de l'architecture s'enracinent dans des décennies de réflexion critique, de militantisme politique, théorique et professionnel. Documentant l'engagement de plusieurs générations de penseur.euses féministes, cette anthologie fait entendre quelques-unes des voix pionnières qui se sont élevées pour interroger le champ de l'architecture dans toutes ses dimensions, ses mécanismes sociaux, ses modes de production intellectuelle et professionnelle. Publiés entre 1977 et 1999, les douze textes fondateurs sélectionnés et présentés par la chercheuse Stéphanie Dadour éclairent un moment oublié de l'histoire de l'architecture nord-américaine. A une période où des notions fondamentales comme genre, intersectionnalité et queer sont forgées et progressivement introduites en architecture, les discours croisés de ces praticien.nes, théoricien.nes, historien.nes ou commissaires d'expositions dessinent un mouvement collectif qui n'existait par auparavant et qui marquera indéfectiblement la littérature architecturale ultérieure.

In an effort to translate my state of mind and personal experiences into an architectural concept, I chose to design various spaces or materializations of various states of being, drawn together into a coherent structure. The result was an integrated architectural work that derives from a polyphony of cultures. These cultures communicate with each other in the designed spaces, at the same time giving an illusion of neutrality - a carte blanche. A place seemingly stripped of most political complexities, with a relationality based on human experience - a variety of cultures communicating in some third landscape. However, this romantic idea has also been the starting point for a discussion on cultural appropriation and cultural identity, shared with a few female artists and thinkers. They show the importance of opening reflective space up to contemporary discussion, of embracing critical narratives as a route to achieving a deeper understanding of our cultural conditioning. This project began with the idea to reflect on notions of reality through the individual perspective in a collective space. The investigation of personal experience within culture is echoed in the materiality of the architectural models, but also in the materiality of the various narratives of women living and creating in between cultures. Inbetween. A mélange of different architectural styles, sacrum and profanum, a trans-culture, a hybrid of civilizations. Cultural realms engaged in a dialogue. A quest for confusion, and a further quest for peace. Where is my identity now? I do not get a single answer, but a polyphony of voices.
