Specifically for architects, the third title in the Thinkers for
Architects series examines the relevance of Luce Irigaray's work
for architecture. Eight thematic chapters explore the bodily,
spatio-temporal, political and cultural value of her ideas for
making, discussing and experiencing architecture. In particular,
each chapter makes accessible Irigaray's ideas about feminine and
masculine spaces with reference to her key texts. Irigaray's theory
of 'sexed subjects' is explained in order to show how sexuality
informs the different ways in which men and women construct and
inhabit architecture. In addition, her ideas about architectural
forms of organization between people, exterior and interior spaces,
touch and vision, philosophy and psychoanalysis are explored. The
book also suggests ways in which these strategies can enable
architectural designers and theorists to create ethical
architectures for the user and his or her physical and
psychological needs. Concisely written, this book introduces
Irigaray's work to practitioners, academics, undergraduate and
postgraduate students in architectural design and architectural
history and theory, helping them to understand the value of cross-
and inter-disciplinary modes of architectural practice.
