One Hundred Female Professionals in the Field of Architecture
The Roca London Gallery is set to host an exciting exhibition titled "100 Women Architects," opening on October 18, 2024, and running until March 28, 2025. This significant event will showcase the work of 100 leading women architects from around the world, spanning 79 countries across six continents.
The show, which offers a platform for often unheard voices in the field of architecture, has been curated by the team behind the book "100 Women: Architects in Practice." The aim is to increase the visibility of architectural practitioners and celebrate the underrepresented contributions of women in this industry.
Among the projects being showcased are the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, designed by Dutch studio Mecanoo in collaboration with Ethiopian architect Rahel Shawel. Another highlight is the Bundanon Art Museum and Bridge in Australia, designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects in collaboration with Wraight Associates, Craig Burton, and Atelier 10.
The Ilulissat Icefjord Centre in Greenland, designed by Danish firm Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter, is also featured in the exhibition. Visitors can expect to see photos, 3D models, and other visual representations of these and other projects, along with the work of well-known architects like Liz Diller, Farshid Moussavi, and Yasmeen Lari, as well as lesser-known practitioners like Rahel Shawl and Laura Narayansingh.
The exhibition addresses sustainability, practice innovation, and equity, providing thought-provoking perspectives on gender in the field of architecture. For those interested in learning more, the exhibition's details can be found on the Roca London Gallery's official website, and the curatorial team's book "100 Women: Architects in Practice" can be ordered from RIBA Books.
It is worth noting that the 3D models for the show are being constructed by students from London's Royal College of Art Architecture programme. The team behind the exhibition aspires for gender equity in all professions and disciplines, making this a truly inspiring event for all who are passionate about architecture and gender equality.
