Learning outcomes |
The Architecture and Gender Perspective course starts with the question, "Where are the women architects?" From here, the possibility of drawing a critical view of architecture is explored, whether through professional practices, dissemination, or research and knowledge production.
The references that fill our imagination about what architecture is and who its professionals are, have a systematic gender bias. To talk about equality in the profession and to be able to look critically at the definition and history of the discipline, it is essential to understand the processes that enable the validations or omissions that affect the existence of female architects.
This course seeks to raise questions and provide critical tools in an introductory way so that it is possible to observe architecture by identifying and engaging in dialogue with the gender biases and stereotypes associated with the profession in its various aspects.
