Featuring contributions from a range of significant voices in the field, this volume renews the conversation around what it means to speak of the 'queer' in the context of architecture, and offers a fresh take on the methodological and epistemological challenges this poses to the discipline of architectural theory. Architecture as a discipline, a profession and an applied practice is always subordinate to its own conceptual framework, which is one of orderliness. It refers to buildings, but also to infrastructures of thought and knowledge, to conventions and taxonomies, to structures of governance, hierarchies of power and systems of administration. How, then, can one look at queering architectural discourse when the very term 'queer', celebrated for its elusive nature, resists and attacks such order? Divided into four subsections, the essays in this anthology each pursue a distinct line of inquiry – methods, practices, spaces and pedagogies – in order to help particularize the proposed queering of architecture. They demonstrate the paradoxical nature of the endeavour from a diverse range of perspectives – from questions of mapping queer theory in architecture; to issues of queer architectural archives, or lack thereof; to non-Western challenges to the very term queer, and the queering of basic assumptions across affiliated disciplines. Queering Architecture not only provides a bold challenge to the normative methods employed in architectural discourse but also addresses how establishing 'queer' methodologies is a paradox in itself.

This book was released on 1997-03-19. Queer Space available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In Building Sex, architecture critic and curator Aaron Betsky looked at how traditional gender roles have influenced architecture. In Queer Space, he examines how same-sex 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. Queer spaces have arisen out of the experiences of homosexuals in a straight culture. Often forced to hide their true nature, gay men and women have turned inward, playing with the norms of interior space and creating environments of stagecraft and celebration where they can define themselves with out fear. Their experiments point the way to an architecture that can free us all from the imprisoning structures and spaces of the modern city.

An ice cream parlour in Havana, where strawberry is the queerest choice. A cathedral in ruins in Managua, occupied by the underground LGBTQIA+ community. Queer people have always found ways to exist and be together, and there will always be a need for queer spaces. In this lavishly illustrated volume, Adam Nathaniel Furman and Joshua Mardell have gathered together a community of contributors to share stories of spaces that range from the educational to the institutional to the re-appropriated, and many more besides. With historic, contemporary and speculative examples from around the world, Queer Spaces recognises LGBTQIA+ life past and present as strong, vibrant, vigorous, and worthy of its own place in history. Looking forward, it suggests visions of what form these spaces may take in the future to continue uplifting queer lives.

Download and read online ebook Queering Architecture write by Marissa R. Campos. This book was released on 2014. Queering Architecture available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This thesis supports the philosophy that queer spaces are spaces of appropriation and spaces of empowerment while exploring and challenging the assertion that queer space cannot be designed. Understanding queerness requires an appreciation of the relationship between identity and the intricacies of biological sex, gender, and sexuality. While the heteronormative functions with the assumption that sex, gender, sexuality and gender roles align, queerness embodies a fluidity that allows for operation outside of this norm. This project addresses queer, youth homelessness in Chicago, Illinois where there is an estimated 1,448-3,000 LGBTQ homeless youth. The issue of LGBTQ youth homelessness is not unique to Chicago; however, as the largest city in the Midwest, it attracts more throwaway and runaway, queer youth than any other city in the region. Although Chicago has a strong queer community and identity, there are a lack of resources and spaces that cater specifically to queer, homeless youth. This project provides a place for youth to access integrated services as well as housing. Through spaces designed to reflect and respect the diversity of queer identities, the goal of the project is to empower and enable. Aaron Betsky's book, Queer Space (1997), addresses the history and meaning of the notion of queer space and those who occupy it. However, the scope of his work is limited and excludes many issues regarding gender identity, race, and class. Building on Betsky's definition and discussion of queer space, this project expands the definition to include a more diverse group of queer individuals as well as explores how one designs queer space with the understanding that it has traditionally been established through the act of appropriation. The discussion on constructing and subsequently deconstructing social constructs plays a pivotal role in understanding how one occupies a space. The queering of architecture must focus on reflecting the fluidity of the various layers of identity we all express or repress. Thus, the queering of space requires the appropriation and queering of the architectural process itself and current modes of representation. The goal of this thesis is to engage in this leap from queer and feminist theory into the realm of design in order to address current and critical issues, through the operation of queering both the architectural process and space.
