100 Women: Architects in Practice puts 100 exceptional practitioners from every continent into a single flagship reference — a direct counter to the profession's persistent failure to acknowledge women's contribution to the built environment.
About This Book
Architecture has a well-documented problem: women remain underrepresented, underpromoted, and underpaid at every level of the profession. This book responds not with argument alone but with evidence — 100 illustrated interviews with architects who happen to be women, drawn from a genuinely global sample spanning every continent. Each practitioner speaks to how they are navigating a disconnect between architecture and the communities and landscapes it is meant to serve. Their approaches to leadership, design methodology, and practice offer models that are relevant to anyone working in the built environment, regardless of how they identify. For Australian readers, the book includes Sophie Dyring, Sarah Lynn Rees, and Kerstin Thompson among its featured voices.
