We have accepted the idea that architecture maintains a matrix of patriarchal and heterosexual norms. The project revolves around people who are excluded from normative discourse and are referred to as “queer” in a broader context. It asks how we can begin to think beyond accepted structures — beyond structures of dualism and opposition. By tracing the historical context of specific events, places, and urban areas that define the LGBTQI2+ movement and culture, this study remains grounded in cool identity while revealing an attitude of defiance and transformation. Often out of necessity and survival, outside the boundaries of heterosexuality. By analyzing internal/external rhetorical boundaries, the project questions how social responses to queerness under the surveillance of modern capitalism create new meanings in diversity, openness, contradiction, and debate.
