Description
Architecture needs women's expertise to create buildings that benefit society as a whole. Despite this, women remain underrepresented in the profession, with their work often overlooked and undervalued. This practical guide aims to address these issues by exploring the history of women working in architecture and providing guidance on how to navigate key points in an architect's career. The book features inspiring case studies of women architects from diverse backgrounds, including Jeanne Gang, Yasmeen Lari, and Anupama Kundoo. It also offers practical advice on understanding barriers to women's participation, expanding opportunities for women in leading roles, and the importance of role models and mentoring. With a foreword by Jane Duncan OBE PPRIBA, this guide is essential reading for anyone looking to succeed as an architect. By examining both historical and contemporary perspectives, Thrive provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by women in architecture and offers practical solutions for overcoming them.
