On September 15, 2019, the draft Decree of habitability and design standards for housing and endowment accommodation in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country was sent to the Basque Parliament. On the 17th of the same month, this project was presented publicly in a summer course at the University of the Basque Country at the Basque Country Institute of Architecture under the title Re_Vivienda First housing laboratory in Euskadi. On September 19, 2019 the newspaper El Correo in its edition of Vizcaya opened its cover with the following headline: “The Basque Government wants to put men in the kitchen”. From that moment, an unusual media controversy broke out at the level of all Spain on the occasion of the inclusion of the gender perspective in the elaboration of that proposal. This article intends to give an account of the content of the Decree, emphasizing the gender perspective issue, picking up some of the most prominent elements of the controversy and trying to establish some conclusions to guide a debate that is somehow unavoidable in our modern societies without forgetting other relevant aspects of the proposed normative text.Downloads
