FA B R I C T U C S O N FROM BIRTH WE ARE GIVEN TWO LABELS OF IDENTITY- NAME & GENDER. FROM THOSE LABELS OUR FUTURE BEGINS TO BE SHAPED AND CHALLENGED. THE SAME NOTIONS APPLY TO ARCHITECTURE WHEN WE BEGIN TO LABEL AND DEFINE SPACES BEFORE WE OCCUPY THEM. WHAT IF WE ADDRESS FASHION, GENDER & ARCHITECTURE FROM AN ANDROGYNOUS POINT OF VIEW? I THEREFORE QUESTION ARCHITECTURALLY WHAT AN ANDROGYNOUS BUILDING SHOULD LOOK LIKE AND PROPOSE TO EXPLORE WHAT IS MASCULINE AND FEMININE FORM AND MEANING AS IT PERTAINS TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.
