A Big Queer Mess






2/8
  • Architecture
A Big Queer Mess is a speculative architecture for a disused suburban site, designed “just enough” to resist being a conventional building. Monumental in scale yet sunken into a reconstructed topography, it contains housing, bathing and performance spaces while appearing almost invisible in its neighbourhood context.

The project operates as both public amenity and open shell – an architecture to be inhabited, appropriated and queered further. It celebrates the mundane, turning basic activities into spectacle, and challenges the assumption that queer architecture must be overt or symbolic. Instead, it proposes buildings that allusively embody queerness through their design and use: familiar on the surface, subversive beneath.
