Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Featuring contributions from a range of significant voices in the field, this volume renews the conversation around what it means to speak of the queer in the context of architecture, and offers a fresh take on the methodological and epistemological challenges this poses to the discipline of architectural theory.Architecture as a discipline, a profession and an applied practice is always subordinate to its own conceptual framework, which is one of orderliness. It refers to buildings, but also to infrastructures of thought and knowledge, to conventions and taxonomies, to structures of governance, hierarchies of power and systems of administration. How, then, can one look at queering architectural discourse when the very term queer, celebrated for its elusive nature, resists and attacks such order?Divided into four subsections, the essays in this anthology each pursue a distinct line of inquiry methods, practices, spaces and pedagogies in order to help particularize the proposed queering of architecture. They demonstrate the paradoxical nature of the endeavour from a diverse range of perspectives from questions of mapping queer theory in architecture; to issues of queer architectural archives, or lack thereof; to non-Western challenges to the very term queer, and the queering of basic assumptions across affiliated disciplines.Queering Architecture not only provides a bold challenge to the normative methods employed in architectural discourse but also addresses how establishing queer methodologies is a paradox in itself. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
