This also resulted in a weakening of traditionally patriarchal family schemes. The term “gender” is a social construction that reveals the cultural inventions of a society expressed in the creation of both architectural and urban spaces for two reasons: urban spaces are a reflection of our society; thus, symbolic spaces that represent patriarchal cultures as social constructions of heterosexuality and cultural male dominance should be questioned. The question should be posed, then, if establishing architectural programs and situating families as the social cell and origin of housing is an updated approach, but especially, if urban image should be a reflection of male dominance.  En la última mitad del siglo XX la participación de las mujeres y sus posibilidades de educación han abierto oportunidades laborales debido a los cambios sociales, económicos y políticos acontecidos en ese lapso. Esto ha generado un debilitamiento de los esquemas familiares tradicionales patriarcales.El término “género” es una construcción social que revela las invenciones culturales de una sociedad y se manifiesta en la conformación de espacios arquitectónicos y urbanos, por dos razones: los espacios urbanos son un espejo de nuestra sociedad; en función de esto es preciso cuestionar los espacios simbólicos de representación de culturas patriarcales como construcciones sociales de la heterosexualidad y el dominio cultural masculino.Habrá que preguntarse entonces sobre la vigencia de establecer programas arquitectónicos y situar a la familia como célula social y origen de la vivienda, pero sobre todo cuestionar la imagen urbana como reflejo del dominio masculino.  Facultad de Arquitectura, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México 2011-06-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/bitacora/article/view/25549 10.22201/fa.14058901p.2011.22.25549 Bitacora Arquitectura; No. 22 (2011): Bitácora 22; 20-27 Bitácora Arquitectura; Núm. 22 (2011): Bitácora 22; 20-27 2594-0856 1405-8901 10.22201/fa.14058901p.2011.22 spa https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/bitacora/article/view/25549/24090 Derechos de autor 2011 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
