Post-modern architecture presented many paradigms including feminism. I like to know can this paradigm influence architectural design act and then communication and interpretation.
I tried to find a clear deffinition of the phrase feminism in architecture but i couldnt.
On the othe hand there are many articals that discussed feminism in a certain proffession, therefore i beleave its suitable to investigate Feminization of Professions: The Case of Women in Architecture.
Dear Shar, I think the paradigm of feminism extends beyond the world “Women” you mentioned. The feminism also focused on the concept of ‘other’ and “otherness”.
There are a lot of references concerning feminism in architecture. I like to send some of them. find it below please.
