Summary:
Frequently reviled by feminists of our generation, Le Corbusier was in fact one of the few Modernist architects to give serious consideration to the role of women in contemporary society, believing them to be instigators of change and an important force in the advancement of society. Ranging in scope from Le Corbusier’s interest in fashion, housework and sex to a close analysis of the philosophies underlying his architecture, his fascination with Orphism, his artwork and his buildings, this book examines the ramifications of his interest in feminism in all aspects of his life. A disparity between his idealised view of womanhood and the reality of the women he knew and loved is revealed. The book is essential reading for anybody who is interested in the way the relationship between the sexes impacts on architecture, and in the personal and professional life of Le Corbusier. Encompassing much new material – including the Provisional Theatre at La Sainte Baume, designed by Le Corbusier but never before published – it provides a valuable resource for those who remain unconvinced by standard histories of this enigmatic and complex figure.

Summary:
For decades, the call for equality and equal opportunity has been heard within the hierarchical world of architecture. The number of those actively working for change is growing. Their goal is to turn architecture into an ethically responsible and socially and ecologically sustainable practice. The publication proceeds from the question of how forms of social injustice are entwined on different spatial levels. As its enquiry unfolds, it becomes clear that the fight for gender equality in the built environment must now be linked to other forms of campaigning for social justice (anti-racism, anti-colonialism, the fight against transphobia and homophobia, etc.). As a political medium, architecture can help honour a new pledge of freedom based on a transformative idea of fairness. ARCH+ is Germany’s leading magazine for discourse in the fields of architecture and urbanism.

Summary:
Figure incontournable des études féministes francophones, la sociologue Francine Descarries a marqué durablement le mouvement des femmes. Elle lègue aux plus jeunes générations une pensée féministe originale, qui lie militance et rigueur scientifique. Ce livre rassemble une dizaine de textes qui prolongent et rendent compte du travail acharné de cette bâtisseuse pour nouer des alliances entre le milieu universitaire et les groupes sur le terrain, tout en témoignant de son engagement dans la transmission des savoirs. Une remarquable pionnière, dont les écrits et les enseignements sont autant de repères pour les luttes féministes futures.
