Our third guest editor is Point Line Projects (PLP) featuring a curated selection of conversations with women they admire and collaborate with as part of their larger interview series, En Pointe. At the helm of sub_teXXt, PLP will be highlighting the creative processes of architects, designers, writers, curators, and artists whose projects make an impact on the field.

F-Architecture Collaborative, February 2017 - January 2018
F-Architecture collaborative
For the inaugural guest editorship, f-architecture solicited and contributed critical reflections on architecture as it intersects with the political, cultural, and economic concerns of feminism broadly. Essays on protest, identity, the politicized spaces of the home and the clinic, and evolving configurations of contemporary architectural labor exceed the professional frame of the architecture office (and the appearance of non-male architects within it). By specifically engaging the voices of their peers in spatial practice, f-architecture aimed to introduce other modes of architectural thinking and action.
Feminist architecture collaborative is a three-woman* architectural research enterprise aimed at disentangling the contemporary spatial politics and technological appearances of bodies, intimately and globally. Their projects traverse theoretical and activist registers to locate new forms of architectural work through critical relationships with collaborators across the globe. Current projects are located in New York City, on the US-Mexico border, in the Amazon of Ecuador and in the MENA region. *Virginia Black, Gabrielle Printz, and Rosana Elkhatib
