Her work can be seen as a proto-feminist manifesto, conflating the act of building with stories of notable female figures from fiction and history, and erecting a thesis against misogyny. This cross-disciplinary project, taking the form of a solo exhibition and a refereed paper, aims to introduce Christine’s work to an architectural audience for the first time. It builds upon existing scholarship on the relationship between image and text in her work and proposes an innovative, design-led remodelling of her architectural and urban allegory, which displays the city in three stages of completion.  \nQuestions  \n1. What is the architectural significance of Christine’s thinking and iconography?  \n2. How can a design-led methodology reveal the underlying architectural themes in Christine’s text and analyse the architectural motifs in her illuminations?  \n3. Can a remodelling of Christine’s book/city provide an impetus for a contemporary feminist re-evaluation of the future of the city?  \nMethodology  \nThe primary methodology is cross-and trans-disciplinary and is design-led. It focuses on a close study of the original illuminated manuscript, Harley 4431, which was potentially written in Christine’s hand. It brings together medieval drawing with cutting-edge digital manufacturing and imaging-and time-based techniques. The research is supported by an extensive review of existing literature in Christine de Pizan studies and discussions at the biannual international conference at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris.  \nDissemination  \nOne solo exhibition, City of Ladies, at Domobaal, London; one conference paper presented atAHRA Dundee 2019; one refereed paper in the journal Architecture and Culture; one invited seminar at the Architectural Association, London; one invited keynote lecture at the Postgraduate Symposium on Research By Design:  \nRe-appropriation and Representation at Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture; and one invited lecture and exhibition at the experimental drawing festival Cartographies of the Imagination, London.","cbCaiktFMQGuYuM4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiktFMQGuYuM4","pdf",11112159,"English","# Statement about the Research Content and Process\n# Introduction\n# Aims and Objectives\n# Questions\n# Context\n# Methodology\n# Dissemination\n# Project Highlights\n# Bibliography","[{\"question\":\"What is the main research purpose of the City of Ladies project?\",\"answer\":\"To introduce Christine de Pizan’s Book of the City of Ladies to an architectural audience and propose a design-led remodelling of her architectural and urban allegory.\"},{\"question\":\"Which primary source manuscript does the methodology focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The approach centers on a close study of the illuminated manuscript Harley 4431, potentially written in Christine’s hand.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the project connect Christine’s text and images to architecture?\",\"answer\":\"It uses a design-led methodology to reveal architectural themes in Christine’s text and to analyze architectural motifs in her illuminations.\"}]","City of Ladies - Project Details - 4 | PDF",202]
