Description
The image of the architect has long been subject to gendered expectations. In popular media, women in architecture are often portrayed as complex and contradictory figures. This book explores the working lives and aspirations of women in architectural practice, examining how media shapes our understanding of what it means to be a woman architect. Through a critical analysis of media representation and historical context, the book reveals how idealized characteristics such as sensitivity and vision are perceived as neither entirely masculine nor feminine. Drawing on history, sociology, media analysis, and feminist theories, the author sheds light on the complex identity of the architect. This double special issue of Architectural Theory Review offers a nuanced understanding of the image and identity of the architect, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to better comprehend this multifaceted profession.
