Originally published in 1996, Stud: Architectures of Masculinity is
an interdisciplinary exploration of the active role architecture
plays in the construction of male identity. Architects, artists,
and theorists investigate how sexuality is constituted through the
organization of materials, objects, and human subjects in actual
space. This collection of essays and visual projects critically
analyzes the spaces that we habitually take for granted but that
quietly participates in the manufacturing of "maleness." Employing
a variety of critical perspectives (feminism, "queer theory,"
deconstruction, and psychoanalysis), Stud's contributors reveal how
masculinity, always an unstable construct, is coded in our
environment. Stud also addresses the relationship between
architecture and gay male sexuality, illustrating the resourceful
ways that gay men have appropriated and reordered everyday public
domains, from streets to sex clubs, in the formation of gay social
space.
