Women in Architecture

“Process” is a monthly forum for architectural discussion, run monthly by EMAGN, Victorian Young Architects Committee.

http://archiprocess.org/

This month’s conversation will be on “Women In Architecture”.

An important issue, as the architecture industry is still imbalanced, at 80% men, 20% women, and wages are still not equal and although current university intake figures are reported to be 55% women/45% men, the question is, where do they go???

I think in this century, we are to see women as the dominant force in creating our environments, and hopefully a unique type of new architecture. This could be witnessed by architects like Kazuyo Seijima, who have indeed been influential in disseminating their personal world-view.
