Architects use special literature containing standard values for things like door widths, ceiling heights, steps, door handles and the like, that usually mirror current human proportions (and usually men). It was Corbusier who pioneered that standardization idea.
The exhibition is about a female collective highlighting problems with this biased approach and some alternative concepts. As mechanical contrivance rightly pointed out, there is little material to view online.
