An Archival Introspective of Feminist Spatial Practices

An exploration of feminist spatial practices as a critical framework to interrogate the built environment, drawing attention to the ways architecture and design perpetuate or resist patriarchal, capitalist, and colonial structures. By weaving together historical research, personal reflection, feminist theory, and speculative fiction, the work positions space as inherently political—shaped by power, gender, and social norms. It argues that space is not neutral; it embodies the values and exclusions of the societies that produce it. Ultimately, the thesis does not offer a final answer, but rather a collection of critical thoughts and reflections, these are grounded in both scholarship, research and lived experience, and together form the foundation of an ongoing attempt to designing more inclusive, equitable, and resonant spaces.
