This week on the Queer Power Hour: we are geeking out on queer architecture. We’ll consider how sexuality impacts and informs the built environment,
We’ll about two gay architects who practiced in the 1960s through the 1980s — and broke ground in different ways:
- Horrace Gifford, the gay man who created the distinct look of the Pines, a queer resort town on New York’s Fire Island. (Excerpt from Jess Rothschild’s Finding Fire Island podcast)
- Lesbian architect Phyllis Birkby invited women to question the status quo and fantasize about spaces and environments free of constraints, sexism and homophobia. (Story from New Angle: Voice; produced by Brandi Howell)
