In our discussion, Dr. Chan Arun-Pina problematises how student housing is conceptualised, as it figures a temporary and transitory form of accommodation that constrains experimentation, transformation and senses of permanence. Chan's chapter discusses the cisheteronormativity of housing and its norms and draws from their research into queer senses of home and 'domicide' in India. This research analyses the violence and trauma that can be associated with queer and trans relations to home and the security it (is supposed to) afford dwellers. Chan also shares their unique visual approach to 'blueprinting' socio-spatial research through their multiple roles as an artist, architect and academic.
