Theme Description
This
session is concerned with the discourse associated with the relationship
between architecture, gender studies and representation. Some speakers
in the session deal with the representation of gender relations in film,
literature, architectural drawing and contemporary architectural history.
Other speakers deal with relationship between women and space i.e. the
urban plan, the shopping centre and social housing. What is revealed through
these papers is a complex understanding of the involvement of women in
architectural production, representation and urbanism. This results in
a general sensitivity about the papers generally. They are not condemnatory
but rather inquisitive, in search of a temperate understanding of the
recording of female + male relations in architectural history and theory.
