At the Intersection of Design, Gender, and the Making of Space
Lori Brown–architect, author and professor at Syracuse University–recently spoke to us about her work on the intersection of design, gender, and the making of space.
She analyzes spaces that are exclusive to women, incorporating both building code restrictions that are leveraged for exclusionary purposes as well as spatial design tactics that can begin to address the problems of gendered exclusion in space. Her most recent book, Contested Spaces, investigates the intersections of gender, space, and activism, particularly how legislation affects politicized and scrutinized spaces.
Lori's presentation was sponsored by Women of FXCollaborative (FXWomen). FXWomen's mission is to support professional growth and leadership development for women.
