Abstract

In this article, we point out the need to base the process of designing buildings and architectural and urban spaces on criteria that take into account the gender perspective. As a conceptual framework for developing such standards serves the methodology proposed by Bernard Tschumi,1 referring to “theory” as a “practice” and the concept of care and corresponding values derived from feminist ethics of care. In his text “Event-Cities 3” (Tschumi, 2005), Tschumi claims that “theory is a practice of concepts.” In the present text, this is particularly understood as a need and way to redefine/re-construct the content...
