This manual is a pioneering publication on the subject of designing and planning residential buildings and environments with a gender perspective.
This manual is available in English, Spanish and Catalan. It includes a simple and easily comprehensible theoretical framework that explains the gender dimensions of domestic environments.
The design recommendations are precise and apply to residential units as well as buildings and common elements. It also includes strategically selected case studies of good practices to illustrate the different design criteria covered in the manual. The selected cases are both Spanish and international, and include historical references and contemporary buildings. The manual includes an extensive bibliography that may be of interest to professionals, researchers and technical managers of sectoral departments in public administrations.
Since its publication, the manual has become a reference book in many architecture schools and has been very well received by professionals in the fields of architecture and urban planning.
