Altering Practices cover

This collection of essays addresses and defines the state of contemporary theories and practices of space: it is concerned with the growing importance of technology and communications, the effects of globalization and the change of social demands. Within the current urban and geopolitical contexts, it addresses the emergence of new social and political theories that raise questions of identity and difference in modern society. The book reiterates feminist concerns with space from the critical stance of the new millennium.

With contributions from the leading theorists and thinkers from around the world representing the fields of architecture, art, philosophy and gender studies, this book has a truly international and interdisciplinary reach.

'Engaging and informative for anyone interested in the topics of feminist architecture, the social production space, and the processes of place-making.'Cities

'An interdisciplinary discourse on an important topic, the book will encourage readers to move beyond their scope of interest and delve into the perspective of others.'Cities
