Dealing with Architecture’s "Daddy Issues": An Ahmedian Therapy Session

Abstract [en]

In a short position piece, Brady Burroughs devotes herself to the discipline of architecture in an Ahmedian therapy session, based on Sara Ahmed's critical theory. She suspects a father complex behind the homogeneously composed competition juries, lecture series, panel discussions, anthologies, book series, prize juries and award winners. In addition to a great insecurity and reluctance to let go of its architectural ancestors with questionable affiliations and values, and a long-standing obsession with older white men, the discipline also displays a fear of intimacy, in its educational institutions' tendency toward exclusion and upholding the status quo. It is no coincidence that Burroughs refers to the very diagnosis that is often used to discredit women, "Daddy Issues".
