Feminist Practices - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Women in Architecture

Authored by Lori A. Brown

This book argues that it is vital for all architectural students and practitioners to be exposed to a diversity of contemporary architectural practices. It considers the relationships between feminist methodologies and the various approaches toward design and their impact upon our understanding and relationship to the built environment. While focusing on feminist perspectives, the book offers insights into many different issues, concerns and interpretations of architecture, proposing through these types of engagement, that architecture can become more culturally, politically and environmentally relevant.
