Thinking Female Bodyspace and Housing Through Corporeal Feminist Theory
Towards an affects of care
This paper joins the conversation around care and maintenance through an account of affects of care in architecture. Affect and its binding power allows us to trace how care releases bodies, including the architectural body, into performative potentials – affect produced, exchanged and accumulated in care work. We present an empirical study across two universities (architecture studios) that provide insights into the complexities of caring and fa…
Designing for playful mobilities
In this paper we consider how playful mobilities mediate and augment the power to transform the everyday and support a playful engagement with the city through design. Like other forms of mobility, playful mobilities is embodied; it involves multiple interactions with bodies, and different forms of movement within and through space. Drawing from playful mobilities, this paper explores how play can inform design decisions to compel action and affe…
Your Home Made Perfect
This paper investigates a new, popular, award-winning reality television show, Your Home Made Perfect. Drawing on insights from Sara Ahmed’s work on the promise of happiness, our thematic analysis of nineteen episodes of Your Home shows how architectural entertainment is uniquely positioned through its use of Virtual Reality (VR) technology to circulate happiness and uplifting emotions and to critique the power imbalances of architect-client rela…
Homely mobilities
This paper seeks to contribute to current discourse at the intersection of mobility and architecture studies, by examining the divide between immobility and mobility through the lens of tiny homes. While home is the archetypal image of stasis, belonging, and rootedness, recent mobility studies have considered the potential of architecture as mobilizing, rather than purely permanent, animated through mobility. Our focus on tiny homes highlights th…
A tale of one city through three stories of ludic mobilities
Focusing on three ludic journeys through an autoethnographic account of Wellington, New Zealand, this paper explores how the performance of playful movements can alter the meaning, practice, and feeling of urban spaces. Attention is drawn to becoming hybrid, how technology mediates and augments the power to transform the everyday and support playful engagement with the city. These three ludic stories focus on e-scootering, cycling, and playing an…
A tiny home of one's own
The home occupies a prominent place in our popular and material imagination. The ideal home is a powerful image because it is understood to be a haven from the ills of the world and a material expression of our true selves. This article considers how home, as a tiny home, is framed through two YouTube channels, Living Big in Tiny Homes and Kirstin Dirksen. Extending Sara Ahmed's work on affect, we present this framing as twofold: first, through a…
Spatial mismatch analyses of school land in China using a spatial statistical approach
On time within an architectural community
The relation between time and architecture is well established and thoroughly explored in architectural discourse. Despite this, examination of social time has been lacking. This paper draws on a survey of 114 architects, academics and students who responded to general questions about practice and occupational wellbeing. A finding of this study was the diverse attachments that different groups in the architectural community have to the temporal n…
Affective logic of competition images
Architectural images operate through convention to depict, describe or identify a building as a means to communicate the content of a building. Competition images eschew this relationship slightly because they are staged images – images that act as a promise of a possible built future. Although there is a growing body of work looking at the interactions and transactions between different mediums, the architectural discipline is still focused on a…
Celebrified homes
The aim of this article is to consider how the notion of celebrity intersects with the home. In the first section we introduce the two case studies Grand Designs and MTV Cribs in the context of celebrification. In the theoretical framework, we set up our approach by bringing together Judith Butler in conversation with Sarah Ahmed to explore how the intersection between celebrity and space is both regulated and charged with affect. We then develop…
