NEW &#38;amp; NOW
Q:DREAM : HOME
- - stay in the loop - - subscribe to the Queeries newsletter - -&#38;nbsp;
As an architect, I am acutely aware that designing a house does not equal designing a home. As a queer person, I understand that home can have divergent meanings, particularly for folks in the LGBTQIA+ community who may not feel at home in their bodies, or do not have a home to return to because of bio-family rejection. Amidst escalating violence against queer people in the streets and anti-trans legislation by many states, highlighting queer perspectives and expansive definitions of home is vital to address systemic impacts of queerphobia, both within and beyond the field of architecture. &#38;nbsp;
For the 2023 Center for Architecture Lab Residency, QUEERIES asks queer folks: how do you define home?&#38;nbsp;


Survey &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Virtual Exhibit


About the project
QUEERIES: Designing Reality Equitably and Madly, aka Q:DREAM, will spotlight New York City’s queer architects, designers, organizations, and places at different scales, with a participatory component for queer folks to recognize and celebrate the spaces they call home. Designing Reality creates space for imagining worlds where queer folks have autonomous agency over their lives, while Equitably and Madly expresses parallel principles of equity of access, pride, and extraordinary imagination. Multimedia storytelling and queer data analysis will expand the frame of “home” to encompass queer families, support networks, spaces of one’s own, privacy, security, and stability. Through the course of the residency, Q:DREAM will begin to build a living archive that documents and celebrates queer designers, their work, and their desires.
Q:DREAM, as a research-creation process1 and queer data analysis2 project, seeks to queer3 the architectural discipline by telling new (queer) stories of home in new (queer) ways, which demand new modes of assessment and accountability. The seeds of critical and speculative imaginations required to trouble status quo ways of working and designing in architecture exist—what they need is incubation.&#38;nbsp;


About the survey
The intent of the survey is to gather queer individuals' perspectives on "home." The resulting data will be used to inform workshop topics and gallery displays as part of A.L. Hu's Center for Architecture Lab Residency. Through this process of research-creation, we will co-create QUEERIES: Designing Reality Equitably and Madly.

1 : Research-creation is a term that Natalie Loveless, author of How to Make Art at the End of the World, defines as a conscious practice of research that is rooted in process, multiplicity, context specificity, and contingency (25). As a political practice of working with and through stories, research-creation produces complex emergent outputs that exceed what is apparent in their constituent parts (26).

2 : Dr. Kevin Guyan writes in his book,&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;research and analysis methods that highlight the instability of taken-for-granted meanings and resulting power relations, thus reconfiguring the hierarchical relationalities that govern our current extractivist systems of exploitation and power.  &#38;nbsp;

3 : Queer as a verb can mean so many things! In this context, I intend to expand, reorient, and, possibly, explode the norms of architecture. See this Wikipedia article on Queering for much more information.

		<description>ONGOING
QUEERIES 1This survey launched in March 2021 and is ongoing.&#38;nbsp;
QUEERIES 1 is a nationwide survey of LGBTQ architects and designers at various points in their career, including students and practitioners, regarding workplace and school conditions, challenges, and barriers in the profession.

The project takes the position that personal identities are political, and that quantifying and qualifying personal identities and experiences is important to both the diversity and sustainability of design professions. As LGBTQIA+ issues and queer spaces become increasingly important, engagement with the queer design community is vital to improve the design of inclusive spaces.
Below is a preview of the questions.&#38;nbsp;


	Queerness &#38;amp; You
This section contains questions about you and your relationship to queerness.&#38;nbsp;
	How many years have you lived on this Earth?Where on Earth do you currently reside? (city, state, country)How would you describe your race / where are your ancestors from?How would you describe your gender identity?How would you describe your sexual orientation/configuration? Are you out to your family?Are you out to your friends? Who is your queer design icon and why?


	Queerness &#38;amp; Labor
This section contains questions about your queerness and your workplace.
	Are you currently employed? What type of design work do you do?How many employees work at your workplace?Are you out at your workplace?Would you like to share how you came out at work?Did you choose your workplace based on its culture?Does your workplace's culture create a space that is inclusive and welcoming to LGBTQIA+ people?


	Queerness &#38;amp; Design
This section contains questions about your queerness as it relates to your design practice.
	How do your identities impact your design philosophy (regardless of whether or not you are out in your workplace)?Are you able to bring your whole self / all of your identities into your design practice? If yes, how? If not, why not?What are the ways your identities have helped you when designing? What are the ways your identities have hindered you when designing? What does queer design mean to you?What parts of architecture / design / work need queering? &#38;nbsp;

ABOUT&#38;nbsp;


Queeries is an initiative that encompasses research, storytelling, community-building, and fun-having, for and by queers in spatial design.&#38;nbsp;

	
Queeries is a design practice of queering norms in design through studio &#38;amp; education; questioning the role of the architect; architectural discourse &#38;amp; criticism; and exploring design interpretations rather than conforming to design standards.


	Queeries takes the position that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion discourse fails to address the material conditions of those who are included as part of diversity initiatives—especially when it’s spatial. Identities are political, not merely marketing or diversifying tools, because how one identifies and how one is perceived by others can affect design philosophies, processes, and outcomes.
Queeries is about asking questions more than finding answers.
