    Gender & Space // A Feminist Approach to Urban Design (Mariana Perezanta)

    Throughout the semester, we engaged with a series of feminist readings that expanded my perspective as an architect. I came to see feminism not just as the inclusion of women in projects, but as a powerful tool to ask critical questions: What does it mean to build? For whom do we build? How do we build? And where do we build?
