MAKING SPACE (VERSO)

Making Space is a pioneering work first published in 1984 which challenges us to look at how the built environment impacts on women's lives. It exposes the sexist assumptions on gender and sexuality that have a fundamental impact on the way buildings are designed and our cities are planned. Written collaboratively by the feminist collective Matrix, the book provides a full blown critique of the patriarchal built environment both in the home and in public space, and outlines alternative forms of practice that are still relevant today.
