Historically, women architects were disappointingly absent in the
news and at awards ceremonies, but now they are spearheading some
of the most exciting and important projects in every corner of the
globe. These profiles of fifty female architects bring to light
some of those projects and highlight pioneering women architects.
Each architect is introduced in double-page spreads that include a
brief biography, an overview of her philosophy and vision, and
stunning photographs of her most significant works. Interviews with
several of the architects provide a global perspective on how women
are changing the face of the world-including feminist icon,
philanthropist, and Nigerian "starchitect" Olajumoke Adenowo;
Tatiana Bilbao, who is leading the way in sustainable Mexican
architecture; Rossana Hu, who is fighting to preserve Chinese
village culture in her rapidly urbanizing country; and Elizabeth
Diller, who created the High Line, one of New York City's most
beloved public spaces, and helped redesign the city's Museum of
Modern Art. This volume offers indisputable and inspiring evidence
that the architectural profession is no longer just a man's game.
