Through Bodies and Buildings – Architecture of Gender and Sexual Dissidence

‘Through Bodies and Buildings’ examines architecture as a spatial apparatus that organises bodies, regulates desire, and structures collective life, while exploring how gender non-conforming and sexually dissident bodies challenge and transform these regimes.

By placing artistic, architectural, and theoretical positions in dialogue through essays, artistic contributions, and archival material, the publication proposes a theory-practice framework in which gender and sexual dissent are thought of as a spatial method: a way of unsettling architectural grammars by exposing their limits and breaching their logics, and of opening spaces of subversive possibility in which other forms of life, relation, and inhabitation may begin to appear.
