Archizoom is delighted to announce the launch of the new edition of the book Making Space written by Matrix and published by Verso, in the presence of Jos Boys, co-founder of Matrix and co-writer of the book.
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. The texts provide a full blown critique of the patriarchal built environment both in the home and in public space, and outline alternative forms of practice that are still relevant today.
