Gender / Identity

Joel Sanders' work addresses identity, inclusivity, and social

issues in architecture. Recently, his research has been focused on gender neutral bathrooms. He aims to create a relatively barrier free open precinct that encourages all embodied subjects

to freely and safely engage with one another in public space.

COMMITTEE MEETING

“Shaping identity through design” “Gender identity is a spectrum” “Architecture, Allow a spectrum of role and identity to play out in public and private spaces for Social equality.” - Joel Sander

Queer / Gender Space Aaron Betsky looked at how traditional gender roles have

influenced architecture. In Queer Space, he examines how samesex desire is creating an entirely new architecture.

Gay men and women are in the forefront of architectural innovation, reclaiming abandoned neighborhoods, redefining urban spaces, and creating liberating interiors out of hostile environments.

“A space activated by the body” “Queer space, is a space for liberating. A misuse or deformation of a place. “ “Queer spaces melded Utopian and corporeal escape, a movement inward with a moment outward. “ Discourse - Identity + Architecture

Donal O’Donoghue on Barbershops.

Sexuality is rather public, and the public is created in the way how we engage. Similarly, architecture spaces are rather public; it is about how we identify our self within a space. The relationship between sexuality and spaces begins to look at the relationships and interactions between sexuality in the context of their spaces.

“Gender identity knowledge is produced and exchanged.”

“Objects, too, invite us to make connections between what we see, what we know and what we imagine” “barber shop “ created a space to think about how intimacy between men is a form of learning and performing masculinities and gender” Discourse - Identity + Architecture
