Summary:
According to a recent American study, sexism and racism are so widespread in architecture that there is a distaste for these topics within the branch itself. What are the reasons for this exclusionary working culture? Even in Germany, most architecture graduates since the turn of the millennium have been female—but a large number of conventions and assumptions within the discipline make it difficult for women to remain in the profession. As a result, a great deal of highly trained talent is lost. Black Turtleneck, Round Glasses uses an intersectional feminist perspective to examine the structural causes that push women—and anyone else who isn’t a white cis man—out of the branch. How can architectural teaching and discourse as well as the industry’s self-image become more diverse? Where are the experiences of a pluralistic society missing from the built environment? How can we bring about cultural change in planning and architecture? Featuring an interview with the Dutch architect Afaina de Jong
In einer amerikanischen Studie war unlängst zu lesen, Sexismus und Rassismus seien in der Architektur so weit verbreitet, dass es diesen Themen gegenüber eine brancheneigene Abneigung gäbe. Wie ist eine solche exkludierende Arbeitskultur entstanden? Obwohl seit kurz nach der Jahrtausendwende auch in Deutschland die Mehrheit der Absolvent*innen weiblich ist, machen es fachkulturelle Weichenstellungen Frauen schwer, in der Architektur zu bleiben. So gehen der Planung viele gut ausgebildete Talente verloren. In Black Turtleneck, Round Glasses werden aus intersektional-feministischer Perspektive die strukturellen Ursachen untersucht, die Frauen – und alle anderen Personen, die keine weißen cis Männer sind – aus der Branche verdrängen. Wie können Lehre, Fachdiskurs und Selbstverständnis diverser werden? Wo fehlen in der gebauten Umwelt die Erfahrungen einer pluralistischen Gesellschaft? Wie gelingt ein Wandel in der Planungskultur? Mit einem Interview mit der niederländischen Architektin Afaina de Jong
