UN/DOING GENDER + ROLE MODELS

A critical approach to the gender debate in Architecture, new working methods and structures, both in practice and teaching, as well as reflection based on such research, practice and teaching, are important curricular elements of Architecture studies. The benefit of integrating the gender perspective more strongly in this context is self-evident. The complex spatial and urban-planning consequences of climate change, demographics and sociocultural transformation demand a paradigm shift in our professional self-awareness. Architects are predestined to play a leading role in this process of socio-economic transformation. If we succeed in sensitising young architects to such change, we can initiate structural transformation and changes in planning culture.
