Description
Stud: Architectures of Masculinity by Joel Sanders explores how architecture shapes male identity through its organization of materials, objects, and human subjects. This collection of essays and visual projects critically examines the spaces that subtly contribute to the construction of masculinity. By employing various critical perspectives, including feminism, queer theory, deconstruction, and psychoanalysis, Stud's contributors reveal how masculinity is coded in our environment. The book also addresses the relationship between architecture and gay male sexuality, highlighting the resourceful ways that gay men have reconfigured everyday public domains to create their own social spaces. Through its interdisciplinary approach, Stud challenges readers to consider the complex interplay between built environments and personal identity.
