Un coin à soi pour aller plus loin, avec ci-dessous quelques ressourceries en ligne qui fourmillent de choses variées sur ces problématiques.

Women Writing Architecture

At the heart of Women Writing Architecture is an ever-growing annotated bibliography, an open-access list of texts written by women about architecture that challenges the boundaries of each of these three terms. Created collectively through conversations, invitations and spontaneous suggestions, it is offered as a resource : for gathering, publishing and sharing annotated lists of texts ; for encouragement, for finding and promoting new writers ; and for insight into what is happening in the vivid realm where women speak up for themselves.

Matrix Open. Feminist Architecture Archive

The Matrix Open feminist architecture archive (MOfaa)  brings together archival resources, not as an end in itself, but as a jumping off point for exploring some of the complex relationships between different kinds of bodies, space and architecture.

Bibliothèque Genre & Architecture

Cette bibliothèque recense les travaux sur le genre menés dans les écoles d’architecture francophones, que ce soit les publications d’enseignant·e·s/chercheur·euse·s, les travaux étudiants, les événements, etc. Elle se propose aussi de recenser les enseignements donnés dans les écoles d’architecture en lien avec le genre.

Spatial Agency

Spatial Agency is a project that presents a new way of looking at how buildings and space can be produced. Moving away from architecture’s traditional focus on the look and making of buildings, Spatial Agency proposes a much more expansive field of opportunities in which architects and non-architects can operate. It suggests other ways of doing architecture.

The Community Development Archive

The Community Development Archive is a digital platform created to trace the evolution of community based organizing, development, and design through a guided timeline and a catalog of critical figures and organizations. The CDA is a collaboration between Designing For Democracy, Partner & Partners, and Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development.

UNFOLD. Decolonise.space : Decolonising Architecture at Cambridge

Who we are : we are students, academics, design fellows and librarians working together to explore how architecture could be expanded as an area of knowledge and a form of practice beyond Western perspectives. What we do : we are here to question what is considered architecture and what is not, in relation to different cultures, contexts, forms of practice and people of different backgrounds.

Race + Architectural History Group

The Race + Architectural History Group was established by the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) in 2019 to promote research activities that analyze the racial discourses of architectural history, past and present.

fem-arc

Against the backdrop of a growing debate about gender we as emerging architects see ourselves obliged to contribute. Architecture is still male-dominated. Gender inequality – especially in higher positions – not just in architecture schools but in events, exhibitions, awards, is remarkable. We are fem_arc collective, a group of six women that have set out on collaboratively forming a practice, positioning ourselves in the broader field of architecture, or, more precisely, setting up a critical spatial practice.

femcollection

The goal of this information gathering is never to define a particular checklist that has to be fulfilled to be a feminist space or feminist spatial practice, rather the intention is to explore the different possibilities with their flaws and failings and analyze the different possibilities. I intentionally call this act a collection, I stray from the term archive, for multiple reasons but mostly to separate myself from the patriarchal, colonialist implications of an archive.
