o:32548 Transformation of architecture and urbanism due to change of gender roles in society en Summary: Giving certain spaces, architectural features and layouts the quality of "femininity" or "masculinity" had a strong impact on cultural and sociological shifts. In this paper, we will examine the historical nature of these shifts and how the architecture can direct the position of all genders towards equality.The subject of the paper is the transformative value of architecture and urbanism induced by gender changes in society, as well as overcoming gender with the aim of segregation decrease.The purpose of the paper is a chronological examination of architecture and urbanism through both feminist and gender theory. The goal is also to debunk the linguistic and cognitive premise that compares specific architectural spaces with the female body (and dedicate it to it) and some others we liken with the male`s build. The paper will demonstrate the architectural transformation through the women's movement, as well as the transformation through the reduction of the sociological difference between private and public spheres. Key words: gender equality, feminism, machism, transformation, architecture, public, private. 1552100 978-86-6022-615-2 2024-01-25T14:12:06.607Z 44 no 46 Enis Hasanbegović Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru 0000-0003-2886-2713 Melisa Alcan Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0001-9102-8065 Lejla Zećirović Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0002-4295-2566 Julija Aleksić person 0000-0002-6767-606X Danilo Dragović Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0002-0830-9753 application/pdf 1297024 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:32548 no yes 1 70 92000004 20A01 16th International Scientific Conference „Integration, Novelty, Design, Interdisciplinarity, Sustainability" iNDiS 2023, CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS, Novi Sad, Serbia, 16-17 November 2023. 680 688 2023
