Barbara Penner Appears on the Know Show Podcast, episode “Feminist Architecture: The Case of Female Public Toilets”
When we think of feminist architecture the first thing that springs to mind is the exceptional work of Zaha Hadid. But feminist architecture starts off on a much more basic need - female public toilets. The amazing Professor Barbara Penner from the Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL has researched the history and lack of female public toilets in cities like London. She shares how we should rethink architecture in a feminist light and what will look like. Barbara also discussed what COVID19 will mean for the future of architecture and building design in metropolitan cities.
