Summary/Abstract: The article examines the specific projections that the feminist ideas receive in architecture. Irigaray's concept of the "shared world", Braidotti's materialist theory of becoming, political readings of the ethics of care are creatively developed in the ideas of A. Wheeler, P. Rawes, I. Toscano, S. Torre and others. The conclusion is that these feminist readings are successfully projected into an architectural environment. There are several reasons for this: first, regardless of their heterogeneity, they take as a starting point the difference freed from its negative burden, turn it into a difference-in-itself and make a significant contribution to its theoretical understanding; second, in them the feminine becomes a way to substantiate innovative reflections, the impact of which transcends the boundaries of feminist knowledge and has its projections in various fields, among which architecture has its reserved place. It is in their capacity as philosophies of togetherness that feminist readings of the architecture, in which being-with-the-other plays a leading role, build a new type of connection and become legitimate approaches to the architecture.
