Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewWe are in a renaissance of queer methods, surveying mis/alignments between slippery queerness and orderly methods. From physical places to digital spaces, the contributors of this multivalent, delightfully unruly volume amplify the unique voices of architectural disciplines. * Amin Ghaziani, Professor of Sociology and Canada Research Chair in Urban Sexualities, University of British Columbia, Canada *
This collection of essays makes a significant contribution to the evolving discourse/methodology relating to queer space and queer architectural practice. It focuses on new critical and theoretical approaches, and brings to light a range of little known sites, interventions, and publications. I found the proposal very rich and challenging. . . . Both the editors and the contributors are leading voices in the fields of criticism, pedagogy, and design practice with demonstrated track records in this area. . . . moves the conversation about queer space/architecture forward while building on previous work. * Alice T. Friedman, Grace Slack McNeil Professor of American Art; Professor of Art, Wellesley College, USA *
I am impressed by the range of approaches and case studies found here and I would have thought it would provide a thought-provoking stimulus to a wide range of academic and critical practice . . . It be might expected to quickly establish a position of some importance within this developing field. . . . It does appear to be a key volume in relation to methods and methodologies. . . . This is a lively and interesting range of approaches to the methodology of queer architecture. * Professor Dominic Janes, School of Humanities, Keele University, UK *
This book will certainly contribute to research in the overlapping fields of queer theory and architecture. This is definitely an under-researched area and could easily benefit from such a collection. * Jack Halberstam, Director of the Institute for Research on Women, Gender and Sexuality; Professor of English and Gender Studies, Columbia University, USA *
