- Summary:
- What is queer architecture? Well, what is architecture? Andrés Jaque explores. "Disorder has always been the power of queerness, the reclaimed slur that uses strangeness and alterity against the normal and normative. The queer use and misuse of existing architecture and more literal affirmative queer architectures - like nightclubs or community centers - can create spatial frames that allow for possibility rather than restriction, that empower both personal differences and collectivity at once, and that give the marginalized power over architectures, both physical and social, that marginalize them. Design has an active role in making the world and queer architects are activists that help others make the world safer, sexier, and happier for themselves and everyone else." --DIS.ART
