DESCRIPTION:Fernanda Canales (Harvard GSD)\nLecture 4 : 'Public domesticit
 ies' by Fernanda Canales ( Harvard GSD)\n\nIn this lecture Fernanda Canale
 s will speak about her research titled “If Women Made Cities” focused 
 on the collective nature of houses and on projects that have intended to b
 lur three main divisions: the interior and the exterior\; the rural and th
 e urban\; and life and work. The lecture comprises the work done by women 
 when they got actively involved in architecture in the second half of the 
 19th century as domestic scientists\, and when they entered the architect
 ural profession at the beginning of the 20th century and initiated projec
 ts that rejected building a world fragmented in spheres. This research hig
 hlights utopian proposals —from domestic labor free cities and Wifeles
 s neighborhoods\, to Social Parentage\, Euthenics (the science of controll
 able environment) and One-kitchen buildings— to cooperative communities 
 and kitchens that reduce by half the number of steps required to cook a m
 eal. The focus is placed on the redefinition of the concepts of ownership\
 , labor\, family and the production of space. It explains women´s contri
 butions to the built environment during the past 180 years that can be syn
 thesized as a fight against spaces that promote segregation.\n\nA lecture 
 series by invited speakers in the field of History and Theory of Architect
 ure organised jointly by Pier Vittorio Aureli (TPOD)\, Christophe van Gerr
 ewey (ACHT)\, Sarah Nichols (THEMA)\, Alfredo Thiermann (HITAM) of the EDA
 R School.\n
