Gender and Architecture: History, Interpretation and Practice - Softcover
Until now, the study of gender and architecture has been confined to femininity and he present. This series of case study essays is designed with the idea that by providing a framework, gender can be further explored. This book is a historically coherent package of case studies, with the final essay bridging into the contemporary.

From the Back Cover:
Gender and Architecture makes an original contribution to the study of the impact of gender studies on architectural history. This series of articles investigates the links between the theoretical understanding of architecture and its concrete experience - both in terms of internal spaces, and the presence and effects of buildings within an urban environment. These articles open up complementary ways of thinking about the significance of gender in the production, use, and representation of architecture, and within the historiography of architectural history. Topics range from seventeenth-century Italian convents, via the representation of masculinity in seventeenth-century English classicizing architecture, and the French women as patrons of architecture in the eighteenth-century, to perceptions of the nineteenth-century Turkish harem, the gendering of space in Regency London's West End, and the rewriting of gender roles in the studios of early twentieth-century German artists. All contributions are based on new research, and offer firmly grounded historical analyses of the question of gender and its architectural ramifications.
