In this talk, Helen Jarvis will discuss the ways in which climate justice intersects with feminism through a focus on co-housing. What is eco-feminism – and feminism in general – and in what ways does it relate to architecture? Understanding the complex intertwinement of the two will be the starting point of exploring co-housing as a possible model for eco-feminist practice in architecture, addressing the role architects can play in creating low-impact and gender-equal housing. We are suspended within gendered social and political structures that both fund and risk manage on behalf of individuals and corporations. We need a shift in perspective. Who makes choices in a patriarchal world of intersectional inequality? What are gendered consequences of the omnipresent dream of property and, if so, how can we unlearn?
