Dive in to a visual and global chronicle of the triumphs, challenges, and impact of over 100 women in architecture, from early practitioners to contemporary leaders! The Women Who Changed Architecture sets the record straight on the transformative impact women have made on architecture. From Marion Mahony Griffin, who passed the architectural licensure exam in 1898 and created exquisite drawings that buoyed the reputation of Frank Lloyd Wright, to contemporary leaders, like MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang, spearheading sustainable design initiatives, reimagining cities as equitable spaces, and directing architecture schools, these women have changed the field... and the places we live, work, and play.
With in-depth profiles and stunning images, this is the most comprehensive look at women in architecture around the world, from the nineteenth century to today. This detailed book is an essential read for architecture students, architects, and anyone interested in how buildings are created and the history behind them.
