The only space adapted to the proportions of a woman is … a kitchen  /designed by a woman/

 

The idea of an efficient home was born thanks to the efforts of women who wanted to rationalize and organize work at home.

 

The first research into kitchen ergonomics was conducted by Christine Frederick and involved tying a thread to a housewife’s leg. The conclusions of the research were published in a book that came from America to Europe.

The book fell into the hands of another researcher, Margarete Schutte – Lihotzky, who in turn visited housewives with a stopwatch, measuring their time moving around the kitchen.

 

 

As a result of the research FRANKFURT kitchn was created, the precursor of today’s cuisine.

The lack of gender distribution statistics in spatial planning shows that inequality is so deeply rooted that it is not even questioned. Failure to take into account space design deepens the social and economic crisis..

The effect of designing the world on the male model is the existing androcentric paradigms that do not take into account mutual relations between the sexes, socio-economic inequalities, lifestyle, and everyday duties.

WHAT IS EQUAL RIGHTS SPACE?

INTERSEKCJONALNA

Even inequalities are not equal. Inequality affects everyone differently based on status, skin color, nationality, gender or religion.

Kimerle Crenshaw coined the term INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISM in 1989 to describe the complexity of the problem of inequality. Intersectionality is a “prism” that shows how different forms of inequality interact and exacerbate each other to create complex forms of discrimination.

 

INCLUSIVE

It involves all users in the creation. It gives them the opportunity to express themselves and make decisions and thus takes into account their needs and restores social balance.

FLEXIBLE

It adapts to the current needs of the user.

LOCAL

Where everything you need is local.

DOES NOT EXLUDE

“People think nothing is going on, but I feel the stares, I feel the restriction that comes into my head.

 

/”Chega de Fiu Fiu” – Think Olga/

 

SUBJECTIVE

It puts the needs of the user above the infrastructure.
