In 2015, I surveyed students, academics and architects. In one section I asked people to identify and define themselves. I allowed people space in which to comment. On the one hand, only four percent of 118 people who responded identified themselves as being from a workingclass background; and, on the other, this was the only question in the whole survey that four percent of respondents saw as inappropriate because class no longer exists. Through these images, questioning silence becomes a doing, a repeated action. This is not to silence discussions of intersectionality. Nor to claim that this approach is anything but singular. However, it is merely a desire to ask a specific line of questions in architecture, to ask: When do we talk about class? What do we talk about when we talk about class? Whose comfort is supported if we do not talk about class in architecture? This line of questioning is born, in part, from my own subject position. And what it means to try to reconcile my subject position and the socialization into architecture, and academia, when I still draw on my working-class identity.

沉默（第 2 部分）

2015 年，我调查了学生、学者和建筑师。在一节中，我要求人们识别和定义自己。我允许人们发表评论的空间。一方面，在 118 名受访者中，只有 4% 的人认为自己来自工人阶级背景；另一方面，这是整个调查中唯一一个被 4% 的受访者认为不合适的问题，因为阶级不再存在。通过这些图像，质疑沉默变成了一种行为，一种重复的行动。这并不是要使有关交叉性的讨论沉默。也不能声称这种方法绝非单一。然而，这仅仅是在建筑中提出一系列特定问题的愿望，询问：我们什么时候谈论班级？当我们谈论课堂时，我们在谈论什么？如果我们不谈论建筑中的阶级，谁的舒适得到了支持？这条质疑线部分源于我自己的主题立场。当我仍然利用我的工人阶级身份时，尝试将我的学科地位和社会化融入建筑和学术界意味着什么。
