Summary:

"Frida Escobedo's Domestic Orbits is a speculative essay of critical cartography that explores how the domestic space is configured around orbits of exclusion that shape the trajectories of domestic workers. How is the space articulated according to specific gendered, classist, and racist configurations of the social sphere? Organized through a series of case studies that range from the 1950s until today in Mexico City, Domestic Orbits looks at the different scales by which domestic labor is erased by architects and planners. It studies the architectural plans of five well known projects from a perspective that aims highlight the social and economic relationships involved. In that sense, Domestic Orbits sketches a counter-history of modern architecture that questions the duality of the visible and invisible: those who count and those whose not."--Page 4 of cover
