Document selection related to the exhibition Do Not Carry Your Flag Too Low - Actions from Matrix Feminist Design Co-operative presented until May 20, 2022 at Archizoom.
  __________

The EPFL Library presents a book selection for further reflections on the themes developed in the exhibition Do Not Carry Your Flag Too Low - Actions from Matrix Feminist Design Co-operative. Curated by Tiago P. Borges, Teresa Cheung, Silvia Groaz and the collectives la-clique and Trojans, this exhibition about the inclusiveness of our buildings and common spaces shows the archive of the radical 1980s feminist architecture practice Matrix. This work explored issues about community and the built environment, and traced the implications of feminist theory and critique on architecture and urban design.
Based on the bibliography compiled by the curators, we have selected publications from the 1960s - 1980s cited by members of the Matrix cooperative, as well as more recent publications about current issues on feminism and architecture.
Consult or borrow the documents presented in the Arts and Architecture area of the Library or browse the online selection.
