Résumé:
The themes of protection, freedom and oppression appear consistently throughout Polish artist Joanna Piotrowska’s oeuvre. Through three photographic series, Stable Vices focuses on these notions to crystallise a spectrum of concerns that drive her work. One series is inspired by illustrated self-defence manuals and Psychology and Resistance by the feminist psychologist Carol Gilligan. A second series reveals precarious shelters made out of furniture and blankets, situated in domestic spaces. In a third series, Piotrowska focuses on cages and comparable spaces created for humans, drawing parallels between the lives of certain communities and animals, and the environments in which they live.

Résumé:
In 1949 the construction of the Sexto Panteón, an underground necropolis containing 150,000 burial plots, was launched. This monumental brutalist-style cemetery is the first and largest experimentation of modern architecture applied to the funerary field, and yet it remains relatively unknown. Ítala Fulvia Villa (1913–1991), the project’s architect, was one of Argentina’s first female architects and urban planners, a pioneer of South American modernism who also contributed to Le Corbusier’s master plan for Buenos Aires. In this book, French architect Léa Namer rediscovers the necropolis through an in-depth investigation and feminist re-reading of this unique site and its creator.

Résumé:
Visual artist Ying Ang reimagines the mushroom as both a biological form and feminist metaphor – an emergent, generative force that challenges dominant narratives of fertility and the female body. She examines how the fetishisation of fertility shapes cultural perceptions of women, nature, and reproduction, questioning whether growth and abundance must always serve a reproductive imperative. The fungal model is a form of fertility that is rhizomatic rather than hierarchical, collective rather than possessive, disruptive rather than obedient. Just as mycelium persists unseen beneath the forest floor, connecting and shaping ecosystems, women continue to shape society in profound ways.

In 1991, poet, author, and professor June Jordan encouraged radical alterations of the built environment as crucial to a new politics of sexuality, eliciting her audience’s imagination to conceive a place for living and showing affection openly without fear, what that space would look and feel like, and what else it would make possible. This book takes up Jordan’s theoretical premise to work against normative ideas about gender and sexuality through environmental transformation. It present methodologies of writing feminist and queer histories of architecture by investigating planning and urbanism, refusal and resistance, and women’s health and communal life in various cities.

D for Dummy Woman, M for Monster’s Tools, S for Style Defense, U for Unstable Signs—The "Glossary of undisciplined design" presents a feminist unpacking of the field of graphic design, offering "undisciplinarity" as the solution to a discipline that has historically featured a multitude of dogmatic rules, discriminatory structures and a particularly one-sided canon. Carried by a decidedly fragmentary and collective backbone, The Glossary of Undisciplined Design combines a multitude of theories and narratives of varying densities and forms, from visual essay, to hands-on experiment, to interview or advertorial, to poem, to speculative tale and scholarly writing.

Résumé:
''Unpayable debt'' examines the relationships among coloniality, raciality, and global capital from a black feminist ''poethical'' perspective. Inspired by Octavia E. Butler's 1979 sci-fi novel ''Kindred,'' in which an African-American writer is transported back in time to the antebellum South to save her owner-ancestor, ''Unpayable debt'' relates the notion of value to coloniality—both economic and ethical. Focusing on the philosophy behind value, Denise Ferreira da Silva exposes capital as the juridical architecture and ethical grammar of the world. Here, raciality—a symbol of coloniality—justifies deployments of total violence to enable expropriation and land extraction.

Résumé:
Set against the background of a ‘general crisis’ that is environmental, political and social, this book examines a series of specific intersections between architecture and feminisms, understood in the plural. The collected essays and projects that make up the book follow transversal trajectories that criss-cross between ecologies, economies and technologies, exploring specific cases and positions in relation to the themes of the archive, control, work and milieu. The many voices gathered here are united by the task of putting critical concepts and feminist design tools to use in order to offer experimental approaches to the creation of a more habitable world.
