How, then, can we look at queering architectural discourse when the very term ‘queer’—celebrated for its elusive, slippery nature—resists and attacks such order?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this book explore this paradox from a diverse range of perspectives—from the questions of mapping queer theory in architecture; to the issues of queer architectural archives, or lack thereof; to the non-Western linguistic challenges to the very term queer alongside decolonial approaches to architecture via indigeneity and landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eQueering Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e not only provides a bold challenge to the normative methods employed in architectural discourse but addresses the paradoxical nature of establishing ‘queer’ methodologies in itself. Offering guerrilla tactics and interventions for the discipline alongside a developing theoretical framework, it is essential reading for architects, designers, queer, and LGBTQ+ theorists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597554630892,"sku":"9781350267084","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350267084-queering-architecture.jpg?v=1777957473","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/queering-architecture-9781350267084","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
