To Queer Space

In this episode of Building Better, we spoke to two people within and outside of The Bartlett  about ‘queering space’: how we can build spaces that suit community needs and what queerness means in the context of design. 

Our guests were: 

  • Xan Xacobo Goetzee-Barral, third year student on the new MSci Architecture programme and an Urban Design Tutor at The Bartlett School of Planning 
  • Holly Buckle, London-based Artist and the LGBTIQ+ Outreach Lead at The Outside Project  

‘Queering space’ is a theme that we touched on in our first ever episode of Building Better, when we spoke to Lo Marshall about their research into LGBTQ+ nightlife. Through this discussion we continued that conversation by asking what makes a space safe for LGBTQ+ people and interrogating what it means to bring queerness into a space.
