3.0 Current Research and other Work

3.1 Study

‘Illuminating Women’s Spaces’ is a study about making sense of the development, design, and construction of land, building, space and form, for and of women. The study draws attention to the impact women have in particular while it simultaneously locates women as a critical group in the imagination and actuality of the built environment universally.
Aim: To observe ‘division’ as a site or landscape constructed to influence perception. The process is a blending of architecture and ethnography.
