Abstract:
Gender-neutral architecture has gained significant attention in recent years as a means to promote inclusivity and address the diverse needs and experiences of individuals in the built environment. This research paper aims to explore the concept of gender-neutral architecture and its potential application in designing women-centric spaces. By examining the unique challenges faced by women in various settings, this study highlights the importance of creating inclusive spaces that prioritize women's safety, comfort, and empowerment. The paper also provides practical design strategies and case studies that illustrate how gender-neutral principles can be applied to design women-centric spaces effectively. With changing demographics and increased visibility of gender and sexuality issues come new opportunities as needs and beliefs undergo a dynamic transformation. With an analysis of the data that is already accessible, the compilation of gender-neutral and gender-sensitive frameworks, and the shaping and designing of spaces to foster greater inclusion, architecture may play a significant and meaningful role within this new paradigm.
