Here the \u2018feminine\u2019 is taken as a strategic feminist concept, to explore the politics of sexual difference; new forms of creativity and the question of the \u2018other\u2019 in architectural and spatial practices. The \u2018feminine\u2019 as a tactic in architecture here, followe&nbsp;Helen Cixous\u2019 notions of&nbsp;\u00e9criture f\u00e9minine and \u00e9conomie f\u00e9minine, in that it aims to create to create alternative symbolic systems. These \u2018alternatives\u2019 are ones that are sensitive to difference and our relationships to others within the \u2018space\u2019 of practice.&nbsp;&nbsp;Following Lefebvre, the thesis explores \u2018moments\u2019, a spatial-temporal realisation of the feminine, in instances of everyday life practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/linesofflight.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/02\/feminine_tactics_in_architecture.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/uk\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Creative Commons Licence\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/uk\/88x31.png\"><\/a><br>This work is licensed under a <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/uk\/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 UK: England &amp; Wales License<\/a> unless otherwise stated.\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim Trogal, DipArch Dissertation, 2003.
