Feminist Knowledge in Graduate Architecture Education: Teaching Experiences from the The Body in the City Laboratory in the Seminar on Intersectionality and Non-Hegemonic Architectures at the Universidad Veracruzana

Abstract

This article aims to examine the contribution of feminist studies and methodologies to the comprehensive education of graduate students enrolled in the *Intersectionality and Non-Hegemonic Architectures Seminar* within the Master’s Program in Architecture at Universidad Veracruzana, through an international collaboration with *The Body in the City Laboratory* based in Santiago, Chile.
The methodology departs from the conventional lecture-based model and is instead conceived as a collaborative research and pedagogical experimentation laboratory. The experience has been developed throughout the three editions of the seminar, addressing feminist-oriented themes such as the phenomenology of the body, critical representational practices, and situated observation.
The findings demonstrate that the integration of these perspectives not only broadens students’ theoretical frameworks but also transforms their research outlook toward a more situated architecture that is responsive and sensitive to contemporary social and cultural realities.
