Architecture and Gender

Architecture and gender explore how built environments influence and reflect gender roles, identities, and experiences. Historically, many architectural practices have favored masculine perspectives, affecting the design of public spaces, homes, and workplaces. This has often led to environments that do not accommodate the needs of all genders equally. Recent discussions focus on creating inclusive designs that recognize diverse experiences, promote safety, and encourage social interaction. By considering gender in architecture, we aim to create spaces that are accessible, equitable, and responsive to the needs of everyone, fostering an environment where all individuals can thrive.
