Subject(s): Summary: From the Jacket - " In his previous book, Building Sex, noted architecture critic and curator Aaron Betsky looked at the history of architecture through the prism of traditional sex roles. Now he has written a provocative study of how same-sex desire is creating an entirely new architecture : Queer Space ' By its vary nature, queer space is something that i not built, only implied, and usually invisible.' he writes. ' Queer space does not partake in the competition for building the largest house, the tallest tower, or the straightest street. It is altogether more ambivalent, open, leaky, self critical or ironic and ephemeral' "
