FEMININE SPACES is both the condition and effect. It is a lived sense of social locatedness, mobility and visibility. The Women’s Wellness Neighbourhood explores the social relations of seeing and being seen through architecture. Projection of the city is used in generating spaces that are contained, uncontained and overlapping spaces encouraging mobility and interaction throughout the building.
