Description
by Hilde Heynen (Author), Lucía C. Pérez-Moreno (Editor)
Three decades of intellectual work on architectural theory and feminist discourse
Hilde Heynen is a Belgian architectural theorist whose work bridges neo-Marxist critical theory and current feminist discourse, applying these perspectives to architectural culture. This volume collects her most significant texts from three decades of intellectual work, centred on three feature concepts: mimesis, dwelling, and displacement. It offers readers incisive reflections on architects' roles in shaping societies and the alliance between ideology, societal structures of injustice, political economy, housing and the built environment.
Within a fierce post-critical debate among scholars who have begun to question the relevance of architectural theory to the discipline in the early twenty-first century, Heynen's position remains constant throughout her writings in defence of architectural theory as a social and transformative practice. This collection is essential reading for new generations of architects and cultural theorists interested in modernity, gender and criticality.
Ebook available in Open Access.
