Feminist Theory in Architecture

Feminist Theory in Architecture examines how gender influences the design, use, and perception of physical spaces. It critiques traditional architecture that often reflects male-centric perspectives and aims to create inclusive environments that acknowledge diverse gender experiences. This approach encourages designing spaces that promote equality, safety, and accessibility for all genders, challenging biases embedded in architectural history and practice. By prioritizing women's and marginalized groups’ needs, Feminist Theory seeks to transform the built environment into one that supports fairness, empowerment, and social justice.
