What if Safety Becomes Permanent? Architecture and Music as a Site of Transing

Castricum, Simona ( 2022)

‘What if Safety Becomes Permanent?’ is about the rights, safety, and relationships gender-nonconforming people experience within the context of architecture and public space. Within the context of the global discourse on transgender civil rights, where cisnormative institutions often determine the parameters of the discussion, this work centres on the lived testimony of trans and gender diverse people. By exploring gender nonconformity through my personal narrative at the intersection of architecture, music and trans identity, I engage ‘world-building’ as a speculative, creative, and practical methodology in architectural and urban rendering offering pragmatic thinking to engage an accessible discourse of trans visibility in architecture.
