Zusammenfassung:Makovsky discusses the 1992 book Discrimination by Design: A Feminist Critique of the Man-Made Environment by Leslie Kanes Weisman. Discrimination by Design explores the complex social processes and power struggles in building and controlling space, while also offering a better way of building, by understanding the spatial dimensions of gender, race, and class. The arguments Weisman developed over 40 years ago around issues of institutionalism, classicism, racism, and gender inequity are still relevant today. Throughout her book she offers innovative examples of the built environment.
