Description
First published in 1984, Making Space is a groundbreaking manifesto that challenges us to rethink the built environment and its impact on women's lives. Written by the feminist collective Matrix, this pioneering work exposes sexist assumptions on gender and sexuality that shape the design of buildings and cities.
The book provides a full-blown critique of the patriarchal built environment, both in private and public spaces, and outlines alternative forms of practice that remain relevant today. This new edition comes with a new introduction examining the context, process, and legacy of Making Space, written by leading feminists in architecture.
