Fantasizing Design: Phyllis Birkby Buil ds Lesbian Feminist Architecture \;traces the life\, work\, and n etworks of lesbian feminist architect Phyllis Birkby (1932&ndash\;1994)\, who pushed design professionals and the public to imagine a built environm ent beyond the confines of existing male-dominated forms. Inspired by the women&rsquo\;s movement and gay liberation\, she joined one of the first l esbian feminist consciousness-raising groups\, staged a feminist building occupation\, and co-founded the Women&rsquo\;s School of Planning and Arch itecture. Her most groundbreaking intervention\, however\, was a series of workshops \; that encouraged women to imagine and draw their &ldquo\; fantasy environments&rdquo\;&mdash\;the home and community spaces they wou ld like to inhabit. \;Fantasizing Design \;takes Birkby a nd her circle of friends\, lovers\, and collaborators as a lens on the bro ader ways feminists and lesbian feminists have worked to remake architectu ral practice\, domestic space\, and the broader built environment.
