Deviant Space
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-041-03143-7 (ISBN)
The book offers a theoretical and contextual framework for reading architecture as both a mechanism of control and a site of resistance. Through the lenses of abjection and failure, borrowed from psychoanalytic and sociological theory, it outlines a methodology for analyzing spatial tactics like passing, outing, and flagging as examples of how deviant users navigate and respond to the built environment.
Its two-part structure—first philosophical, then historical—moves from broad, translatable phenomena to their tangible manifestations in context. The first offers architects and scholars of environmental design a reframing of the production of space, while the second offers theorists of phenomenology and queer studies new spatial dimensions for precedent theory. Deviant Space speaks to those invested in understanding architecture as mutable terrain: unstable, coded, and open to appropriation.
Adam Thibodeaux is an architect and educator whose teaching and research are centered on the uncovering, preservation, and reclamation of architecture that once sheltered populations marginalized by difference. His practice has focused primarily on buildings that once served as queer gathering spaces whose histories have been masked by a need to assimilate in urban conditions where they were once unwelcome. His work on this subject has included built works, public installations, writing, and grassroots activism. Adam is an NCARB-registered Architect and Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, holding a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin and a Post-Professional Master of Architecture from Yale University.
