Her political writing on sexual subjectivities and spatialities has had a remarkable influence on feminist theory and practice in architecture and the spatial arts. The chaotic nature of the contemporary context positions the term ‘whirlwinds’ in an already turbulent scene. We are surrounded by disasters – environmental, economic and political – some actual, others immanent – the so-called ‘war on terror’, climate change, peak oil and the ‘credit crisis’. What kind of response is feminism capable of making today? This is a call to those whose work has responded, however tangentially, to the themes and issues of sexual ethics and difference raised by Irigaray and her understanding of the experiential, material and conceptual construction of sp...

It starts with an analysis of the tale The Yellow Wallpaper, written in 1892 by the American novelist and social reformer Charlotte Gilman, where a domestic pattern is associated with hysteric psychological deviation. The text then moves towards an analysis of medical and architectural discourses from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, looking for moments of resonance with the association suggested in Gilman's tale. The medical discourse is mainly located around the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris, France, a renowned research center for the diagnosis and treatment of hysterical disorders in the late nineteenth century—home to the psychiatric theories of Jean-Martin Charcot and to the psychoanalytic studies of Sigmund Freud. The architectural discourse focuses mainly on the work of Viennese architect Adolf Loos and on the model of the Panopticon developed by British social reformer Jeremy Bentham.

Lina Bo Bardi (1914–1992), best known for the buildings she designed and built in Brazil, was a prolific designer, architect, writer and curator, deeply committed to the promotion of the social and cultural potential of architecture. Before adopting Brazil as her home country in the late 1940s, Bo Bardi lived in Milan, where she collaborated with the renowned architect Gio Ponti (1891–1979). Ponti is perhaps better known as the founding editor of the celebrated design magazine Domus. Like Bo Bardi, he was a productive architect, designer, writer and curator. The exhibition comprised material sourced from archives in Milan (Italy), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Lisbon (Portugal) and London (UK) – original drawings by Lina Bo Bardi and Gio Ponti, letters exchanged between the two, magazines, film footage. It also displayed a selection of specially commissioned photographs by Spanish photographer Inigo Bujedo Aguirre.
