Making Space: Women and the Man Made Environment

Authored by the Matrix Book Group

Making Space is a pioneering work that challenges us to look at how the built environment impacts women’s lives. It exposes the sexist assumptions on gender and sexuality that have a fundamental impact on the way buildings are designed and our cities are planned. Written collaboratively by the feminist collective Matrix, the book provides a full-blown critique of the patriarchal built environment both in the home and in public space and outlines alternative forms of practice that are still relevant today. Making Space remains a path-breaking book pointing to possibilities of a feminist future.
