It can be said that “Asian,” or “Feminist,” or “Architectural” are all non-existent signifiers of “initial problems,” but ones that are very present and possible. For example, “Asian” can be a geographical designation that has varied according to history; a specific race, a category constructed with violence and fluidity; or an aspired episteme that is even harder to pinpoint. Yet together, as three moving anchors in relation to each other, “Asian-Feminist-Architectural” forms a relatively coherent and stable triangulation where concrete material experiences can be gathered by certain specific moving identities.
