Description

Irigaray for Architects explores the relevance of Luce Irigaray's work for architecture. Eight thematic chapters examine the bodily, spatio-temporal, political and cultural value of her ideas for making, discussing and experiencing architecture.

The book delves into Irigaray's theory of 'sexed subjects', explaining how sexuality informs the different ways in which men and women construct and inhabit architecture. It also explores her ideas about architectural forms of organization between people, exterior and interior spaces, touch and vision, philosophy and psychoanalysis.

By introducing Irigaray's work to architects, academics, students and designers, this book aims to help them create ethical architectures that meet the physical and psychological needs of users.
