This timely book celebrates the inspirationalachievements of women architects in everycorner of
the worldHistorically women architects were disappointingly absent in the news and at awards
ceremonies but now they are spearheading some of the most exciting and important projects in
every corner of the globe. These profiles of fifty female architects bring to light some of
those projects and highlight pioneering women architects. Each architect is introduced in
double-page spreads that include a brief biography an overview of her philosophy and vision
and stunning photographs of her most significant works. Interviews with several of the
architects provide a global perspective on how women are changing the face of the
world-including feminist icon philanthropist and Nigerian starchitect Olajumoke Adenowo
Tatiana Bilbao who is leading the way in sustainable Mexican architecture Rossana Hu who is
fighting to preserve Chinese village culture in her rapidly urbanizing country and Elizabeth
Diller who created the High Line one of New York City's most beloved public spaces and
helped redesign the city's Museum of Modern Art. This volume offers indisputable and inspiring
evidence that the architectural profession is no longer just a man's game.Ausstattung: With 250
