With Place Love Begins??: the Philosophy of Luce Irigaray, the Issue of Dwelling, Feminism and Architecture Andrea Wheeler

The question of how to live, how, where, in what way and in what manner, describes a problem in many women's lives. Irigaray's philosophy presents the possibility of a practice beyond a simple desire for equality. For those concerned with how we approach the other, the hidden, or the devalued within our discourses, her work is motivation to take further these theories towards a more radical poetic or artistic practice. The question of dwelling is a reconsideration of coexistence, co-habitation and co- belonging, relation rethought.
