He4She - evolo building design competition - 2016
STATUS
Concept
SIZE
500,000 sqft - 1,000,000 sqft
Following the Neolithic revolution, humans no longer needed to live a nomadic lifestyle, and thus began forming cities. These early cities were primarily run by women, as men would spend their days outside of the city hunting, farming or fighting for new territories.
The women, however, would gather in urban spaces such as the washhouse, fountain or markets to complete her daily tasks, shop and socialize with other women. This is still the reality in some countries today.
During the World War I, when the men left to fight, the women gained even more independence in the city. In France, women won their place in factories as they became munitionettes (women who made bullets for the war). Women also took on roles as nurses and teachers as society had no choice but to allow women to replace the traditional roles of men.
As urbanization has increased throughout the centuries, men have become more and more dominant in cities, as the need for farming, hunting and fighting has decreased. Cities are built with the intention of accommodating men, while women have lost their dominance in urban areas.
Today, cities are anxiety provoking for many women, as their interests are commonly not taken into account when cities are planned. Many places in urban areas repel women and make them feel unsafe and unwelcome. Women are under-represented and disrespected in the modern city. Green City, a representation of the “city of tomorrow” is an improvement in sustainability; but is not giving the needed attention to sex discrimination in the city.
City-dwellers are asked to use sustainable mobility, which also discriminates against women. Despite the supposed gender equality, women take care of children and maintain the home more than men. Women have more responsibility and difficulty when traveling in the city, and it is unreasonable to ask them to run errands with their children on a bike.
Green policy does not match with women everyday life.
New energy policies allow street ights to be dimmed in order to save power
and to be more sustainable. This policy educes more stress for women as it increases their risk of being in danger in poorly lit streets.
The city is feminine only by her noun. She was created by men, for men.
Today, all the policies for the cities, green and sustainable are still created by men, and do not take into consideration the needs of women.
#HeForShe, a campaign launched by UN Women for gender equality all around the world is finally giving attention to sex discrimination issues in the city.
Because our studio wants to pay a tribute to all the women in the entire
World, and because we want the women get her well-deserved spot in the city,
we dedicate a building to her.
We want to give women their place back in the city, help them to overcome
The issues they face everyday living in the city. Still, in 2016, women must be discreet to avoid harassment and prejudice.
We wish for women to become visible again.
He4She skyscraper is a tribute to all women.
