FEMINIST* PERSPECTIVES IN ARCHITECTURE
AND SPATIAL PLANNING
WHOSE CLIMATE?
Claiming*Spaces Summerschool
@Landuni, Schloss Drosendorf
23. -31.07.2023
The man-made climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time. However, especially from a feminist perspective, it is evident that due to gendered hierarchies underlying the relationship between humans and nature, the contribution to the causes, the affectedness of the impacts and the solutions for mitigation are very different.
Meanwhile, the intersectional impacts of climate change - especially on women - are receiving increasing attention. Yet their important role in climate negotiations, as drivers of change and in the management of natural resources is often overlooked. Moreover, feminist perspectives hold visions of how the human-nature relationship can be rethought.
The aim of the transdisciplinary SummerSchool is, on the one hand, to collect basic data and to sound out the need for research and, on the other hand, to point out possibilities for action for rural regions. The following questions form the starting point:
• What impact does the climate crisis have on different genders? What changes are necessary?
• What do they need - what spatial and infrastructural framework conditions need to be created?
• Are there already spatial practices of local actors that produce new knowledge for a caring approach to their environment affected by climate change?
The SummerSchool will take place at the landuni Drosendorf. Public lectures on the topic will be held during the SummerSchool. In addition, the population will be involved in workshops and impulse actions. With an intersectional approach, groups of people whose participation is often forgotten will be actively invited.
The participating students work in interdisciplinary groups of architects and spatial planners.
